Why do we crave revenge? And what can ancient myths teach us about breaking free from cycles of wrath, resentment, and retaliation?
In this episode, we unravel the Greek myth of Orestes, a tragic hero hunted by the Furies for a righteous act of vengeance. What unfolds is a powerful metaphor for the psychology of anger — from its primal origins to its potential for transformation.
Featuring Jungian psychology, mythological storytelling, and modern neuroscience, this video dives into:
– Why revenge feels good but rarely brings peace – The hidden function of wrath (and how it can backfire) – How society treats anger differently based on race, gender, and identity – What ancient myths and modern psychology say about healing from betrayal – How to alchemise your anger into justice, clarity, and conscious power
Whether you're healing from a betrayal, reckoning with your own rage, or simply curious about how myth and mind intersect — this one’s for you.
👇 I want to hear from you: Have you ever been told to “calm down” when you were standing up for yourself? How do you channel your anger? Drop your thoughts in the comments — I’d love to hear your story.
