In this follow-up session with my friend and IFS therapist Dr Risa Adams, I explore my complicated relationship with anger—an emotion I've spent most of my life suppressing and fearing.

This conversation opened my eyes to the possibility that I don't have to choose between being loving and being honest; I can honor all my parts and still show up with integrity.
