  • Why Outrage Feels Addictive—and How to Step Off the Train
    Jan 27 2026

    Welcome to The Emotional Endurance Movement, the mental health comedy game show that helps you learn how to cope with intention.In this episode, Laurie Sharp-Page and behaviorist Crimson McDonald dive into anger, outrage, and emotional fire—not to tell you to suppress it, but to help you understand what to do with it. Grounded in Brené Brown’s insight that anger is information, this conversation reframes outrage as a signal rather than a set of instructions.You’ll also learn a practical regulation skill for moments when outrage is intense: containing the fire. This includes naming the emotion to stabilize your nervous system, using cognitive containers to create space, and regulating the body so outrage becomes something you can work with instead of something that controls you.Outrage doesn’t need to be ignored or unleashed.When tended well, it becomes information, choice, and impact.Join the Movement!👉 Subscribe to our newsletter for weekly tools and updates:https://sprouting-change.com/joinus👉 Join next week’s survey and be part of the show:https://tally.so/r/81zjQr
