Looking for movies, shows, and books that depict someone feeling and expressing healthy anger.
I was raised in (what I now know to be) an abusive home, which meant that Parent was the only one ever allowed to show anger and Parent showed anger through yelling, swearing, name calling, striking, etc.
Out of a desire to be nothing like Parent, I've taken to completely suppressing my anger over the years. As it turns out, that's not super healthy. Per my therapists's suggestion, I'm now trying to feel and express my anger instead of stifle it—but I have no idea what that should look like, since I've only seen really unhealthy models of anger. Or rather, in theory I know various ways/strategies to show anger in a healthy way, but I want to see it in action—even if it's fictional action.
So I'm turning to media for models. What movies, tv shows, or books (or anything else) depict anger in a healthy, constructive way? Looking for both general anger and anger directed at specific people. Bonus points if the person expressing that anger is a woman. |
