I have found it hard to discover such places. But I keep trying. At my Unitarian church, many people shy away from expressions of anger, even if it's about social justice. Recently, I was invited to give a sermon, I chose to speak abaout "Anger: Justified or Unjustified?" People seemed to like it. But I still find it a struggle to find people who are not afraid of it.

@esthermayo Something that crossed my mind as I just read your post was this: There are certain emotions that people automatically attach to "negative". Such as anger, or sadness, or jealousy. etc. Perhaps in these current times of uncertainty, several of us are hanging on to positive feelings. And many may not want to address or acknowledge anger/frustration/rage over something they feel powerless to change.

Do you think this has a part to play in finding safe places to express all emotions?
