Embedded in all of our DNA is the inclination to hide from whatever is lurking in the dark outside our homes, a relic of the past before the assurance of safety behind four walls and locked doors. Even in the suburbs of Worcester, our survival instincts look out at our backyards and ask us to consider what dangers could be just behind the trees. Our modern human brains tell us nothing is there… so why do we still close the curtains?

Unexpressed Anger

With an exception for its most privileged members, society takes a harsh stand against the expression of anger, ascribing to it a moral value ranging from “immature” to “dangerous.” But anger is only a threat to the individual who fails to express it. When we bottle up our anger, we experience it as burnout, exhaustion, health issues, and more. And no matter how hard we try, eventually, it will break free.
