Ep. 95 Hidden Rage Women Were Never Allowed to Express

Join our Exclusive Community: https://narcissisticabuserecovery.supercast.com/

In 1998, Alanis Morissette released "Sympathetic Character" - a raw, unflinching song that exposed truths most women knew but were never allowed to say out loud. Twenty-six years later, her words hit harder than ever: "I have as much rage as you have... and I've kept mine bubbling under for you."

This isn't just about one song. It's about the hidden rage millions of women carry - the anger they've been taught to swallow, the emotions they manage for everyone else while ignoring their own, and the exhausting reality of making men their everything only to lose themselves in the process.

In this episode, we dive deep into:

• Why women were systematically taught to suppress their rage and manage everyone else's emotions
• How the patriarchy designed dependency to keep women trapped without options
• The real reason women walk on eggshells in relationships - and it's not just about "bad men"
• Why making someone your best friend, lover, mentor, teacher, and savior sets you up for failure
• How emotional labor became women's unpaid full-time job
• The connection between financial independence and emotional freedom
• What happens when women finally let their rage rise to the surface where it belongs

We're not man-bashing here - we're system-smashing. Because the truth is, when you have your own money, your own life, and your own voice, you don't have to keep your rage bubbling under for anybody.
