I've read so many books on women's rage. I know the importance of feeling my anger, utilising it, not suppressing or sublimating it. Ive read down girl and rage becomes her and good and mad and so many more books on embracing our rage, knowing its fuel for revolution. I just finished another book, trying to channel my fury and feel some catharsis in a world of epstein and 62 million hits in a month and all that is INFURIATING me right now. So after I felt SEEN and understood, I also wanted desperately to turn to something that would help me work on soothing the anger. Letting go, not having it be all-consuming, all the time. I love my anger and its power, but I need breaks from it. So I picked up a Buddhist book on anger, and my god, was it huperindividualistic nonsense. Turn off the news and ignore it all was basically the message. So my question is, what books have people found helpful for processing the rage, not just naming it and giving us the stats around how we've been gaslit and silenced? I still found most of the books I've read cathartic and hopeful, but I currently need something to help soothe (as healing it altogether seems an impossibility while the systems we love under are as violent ans vile as they are). What have people found to be a balm, without it being spiritual bypassing? Thanks! A proudly ANGRY woman!
