5 key topics in this episode Disappointment is the emotional state we feel when people, things, or life don't live up to our hopes and expectations. We experience it as a loss because of the disconnect between reality and our hopes and expectations. Sometimes we personalize disappointment so much that we also experience it as rejection. Anger arises when we feel like we have been wronged (even if we are not) or that we have been wronged, either by others or by ourselves. Anger is also a notification that at some point in the very near future we will need a healthier boundary. It lets us know where, be it the anger itself or the thing/event that created the anger, we are not having integrity with ourselves. for example. people indulge, settle for crumbs, deny, rationalize, minimize and excuse. Loss is loss. The body does not differentiate between types of losses. This means that every time we suffer a loss, it brings back old losses. He raises up our afflicted and unafflicted disappointments and losses. Many of us try to fulfill our old unmet needs from childhood in current situations. It's based on that distant fantasy created a long time ago. We keep putting ourselves in situations with people who remind us of the past in an attempt to fill voids. And, of course, it creates unrealistic and inappropriate expectations that are revealed to us through our anger, disappointment, and grief. Continuing to call anger "disappointment" keeps it alive because we are actually saying that person or thing was meant to be what we thought and now we are indebted.
