Be Vulnerable… instead of angry. 🩷❤️🧡💛

Anger is addictive and powerful, and no one wants to let it go. That includes me. Why? It’s your body’s final defense mechanism. There is nothing else. It not only physically protects you but masks uncomfortable emotions. This diagram depicts many of them. Since we are not taught other means to protect ourselves from mental pain, we cannot let anger go easily.

Many years ago, I was working with a middle-aged gentleman who was on Workers’ Comp for chronic low back pain. As he worked through my website and book, Back in Control, his back pain significantly lessened. About three months into the process, he walked in and said, “I am getting depressed, and I would rather be angry than depressed.” He walked out, and I never saw him again.

Depression is simply a set of symptoms driven by anxiety (vulnerability). Letting go of anger allows for more anxiety. Unless you have tools to lower your stress physiology, raw anxiety is intolerable. You may feel many, if not most of the symptoms on the chart.

The DOC Journey teaches you strategies to shift your body’s chemistry from fight-or-flight to safety. The process requires about 10-20 minutes a day, and no more. Repetition is needed to embed these tools. Over three to six months, many people find significant relief from mental and physical pain. Also, when you are angry, your thinking brain is not fully functioning, and you are asleep. Let’s Wake Up!

Beautiful weather!! Time to be outside!! 🧚🏼‍♀️☀️🌺🐇🌼 It’s a win win for all of us!

Magda Ge**er, an early childhood educator and founder of the Resources for Infant Educarers, (or "Educaring"), believed deeply in respectful, child-led development from the very beginning of life.

She reminded us that nature is one of the richest environments for learning—even for the youngest children. From shifting light and fresh air to the smallest movements of birds and insects, the outdoors offers meaningful, sensory experiences that help children adapt, grow stronger, and connect with the world around them.
