Want to understand why emotions are hard and what we get wrong?

Especially when facing anger?

 

We develop armor or old protective patterns to offload, numb, rationalize, repress our emotions instead of experiencing them. But armor and avoiding emotions comes at a cost as it breaks the link to our needs/values and what really matters.
