Context: I speak about my stepdaughter in past tense bc I’m divorced.
I don’t talk about her often bc it’s a sore spot but while raising her I was raising the little me (I was not treating this as therapy, no labor on her part). I didn’t expect her to heal anything. I did the work.

One of the areas I worked on in therapy was my (lack of) relationship with anger. Intellectualizing the feeling without ever engaging with it tactilely. Absolutely a consequence of learning that anger doesn’t belong to you and is dangerous.

Whew! Now I'm thinking about the "maturity" as prescribed self-abandonment.

Yup.
It was hard to navigate this when I was raising my step daughter. I told her it was okay to be angry. That was never told me. I wish it was.
Denying the full spectrum of emotions to all children is damaging. But we talk about it in very particular ways.

The failure to address pivotal experiences makes girls/women become villains to themselves. I don’t think this is on accident.

That expectation that girls are more emotionally regulated leads to women overcompensating later.

But I’m not conscious enough to go deep but I think we are very haphazard with how we engage with this.

Colon cancer numbers are rising in the US, UK, Canada, China, Australia, India, South Korea, the EU, Brazil, South Africa etc., the exception is in women in Nordic states who are more likely to eat a diet high in fiber because of berries. Eat beans, berries and other high fiber foods. Limit booze
