We have also come to the conclusion that the healing that we once knew is not working for us. So, how and where do we start? We start by seeking a new type of healing first (since the old one isn\u2019t serving us well), and given the fact that emotions are at the seat of the soul, let\u2019s start there. There are many emotional issues, but I will discuss society\u2019s number one emotional issue\u2014uncontrolled anger. Yes, uncontrolled anger has become society\u2019s number one emotional issue. Allow me to point out that \u201canger\u201d is not society\u2019s number one emotional issue, \u201cuncontrolled anger\u201d is society\u2019s number one emotional issue. Anger is not number one because anger is not a bad emotion. The negative response to anger is what is unfavorable for everyone involved. It is at this point where crime usually comes into play.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3708\" src=\"https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Dr.-West-Logo-300x182.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Dr.-West-Logo-300x182.png 300w, https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Dr.-West-Logo-1024x620.png 1024w, https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Dr.-West-Logo-768x465.png 768w, https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Dr.-West-Logo-1536x930.png 1536w, https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Dr.-West-Logo-2048x1239.png 2048w, https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Dr.-West-Logo-694x420.png 694w, https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Dr.-West-Logo-640x387.png 640w, https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Dr.-West-Logo-681x412.png 681w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/anewhealing.org\/\">https:\/\/anewhealing.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have been unwilling to accept the fact that violence, as a result of anger, is everyone\u2019s individual responsibility. Instead of taking on the responsibility, we have sought scapegoats in minority cultures, racial groups, the mentally ill, as well as subcultures. Look at the crime we see in the news. Instead of taking responsibility, we result to committing crimes. Crime is at an all-time high and is, unfortunately, becoming more and more bazaar. People are dropping babies off bridges, adults are abusing children, filming it and putting it on social media, as well as parents beating children to their deaths.&nbsp; We\u2019re becoming more aware of rape, child molestation, bombings, and suicide\/homicide attempts and commitments. Not to mention sports figures who are <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">abusing women, children, and animals, mass shootings, school shootings, theater shootings, mall shootings, drive-by shootings, and even church shootings. The underlying issue here is uncontrolled anger.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3709\" src=\"https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Angry-Man-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Angry-Man-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Angry-Man.jpg 590w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Pay attention the next time you go to a game or any crowded stadium. When at a football game, I\u2019m always intrigued by the action of the fans. Observe the next time you\u2019re in the stands, and you will notice irrational fits of anger, uncontrolled frustration oozing from people that masquerade under the fa\u00e7ade of excitement or \u201cteam spirit\u201d. Notice the booing, catcalls, drunkenness, fights in the stands, and unrestrained selfishness in the name of \u201cteam loyalty\u201d. These people are trying desperately to release tension from within because these are not people who are at peace with themselves, they are secretly angry. I\u2019ve long stopped looking at the news, but if you still do so, watch and observe the amount of anger and rage that is exhibited by people who are featured in the news. Listen to the lyrics of the most popular songs that are playing today. People also exhibit anger, rage, frustration, discontent, and stress in inequalities. When we are ready to accept that the problem is within ourselves and when we are willing to heal both psychologically and spiritually, then and only then can we approach the cycle of anger, end the suffering, and begin the healing process. This process begins with the connection to a licensed mental health professional, it also requires honest communication to that mental health professional, as well as a commitment to the healing journey.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3710\" src=\"https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Angry-Sports-Fan-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"336\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Angry-Sports-Fan-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Angry-Sports-Fan-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Angry-Sports-Fan-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Angry-Sports-Fan-537x360.jpg 537w, https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Angry-Sports-Fan-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Angry-Sports-Fan-681x454.jpg 681w, https:\/\/tuvmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Angry-Sports-Fan.jpg 1023w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/>\u201cA New Healing\u201d is the name of an intervention that I often use to approach healing from a psychological and spiritual aspect.
