    What do you think of the relationship between anger and fear? I heard a philosopher on a mental health podcast today describe them as two sides of the same coin and it got me thinking about anger in the context of our hardwired flight or flight (or fawn or freeze) responses.

      Not for everybody, but you might check out the enneagram. If only because it’s a relief to see yourself, contextualize your personal bs, and see how different the bs of other people can be. I think that framework made me more self-accepting.

      https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/ you don’t need to take a test. You can just read about the types and see what resonates with you.
