Welcome to Transform Your Mind with Coach Myrna Young, where we explore the thoughts and emotions that shape our lives.
Today’s episode is called “Anger’s Seven Cousins: Healing the Hidden Forms of Anger.”
You see, anger doesn’t always show up as shouting or rage. Sometimes it hides behind politeness, sarcasm, or that quiet “I’m fine” when we’re really not. These subtle forms of anger can quietly destroy our peace, our health, and our relationships if we don’t recognize them.
In this episode, we’ll uncover the seven hidden cousins of anger—the subtle resentments that sneak into our daily lives—and I’ll share how to recognize and release them so you can live from a place of calm and clarity.
Anger’s Seven Cousins
- Resentment – The Silent Stew
You keep smiling and saying yes, but inside, you’re boiling. Resentment forms when you don’t speak your truth.
Healing Tip: Speak up early and set boundaries. - Irritation – The Short Fuse
Small things trigger big reactions. It’s usually not about what’s happening—it’s about something deeper.
Healing Tip: Pause and ask, “What’s this really about?” - Frustration – The Blocked Path
You’re trying so hard, but nothing’s working. Frustration is anger mixed with helplessness.
Healing Tip: Reframe obstacles as opportunities for growth. - Envy – The Angry Comparison
You admire others but feel bitter that you’re not where they are.
Healing Tip: Celebrate others’ success as proof that your dreams are possible too. - Bitterness – The Hardened Heart
Old wounds that never healed turn into bitterness.
Healing Tip: Forgiveness is freedom—let go for your peace, not theirs. - Passive-Aggression – The Masked Attack
You hide anger under politeness, sarcasm, or avoidance.
Healing Tip: Be direct. Honest “no’s” are healthier than resentful “yes’s.” - Self-Righteousness – The Angry Virtue
This one feels good because you think you’re right. But moral superiority only feeds division.
Healing Tip: Choose understanding over judgment. Compassion disarms anger.
