Psychology / Anger management | | English term or phrase: let the anger do as it likes | You say I shouldn’t stop my raging anger. Why?
You shouldn’t stop your anger, nor should you suppress it. When you suppress your anger you bottle it up inside and you either explode it all out like a volcano at a later stage, or it starts to eat away at your body as sickness. When you fully express anger without being conscious of yourself, you reinforce your guilt and make it real. Anger is just suppressed guilt which you cannot bear to see inside of you for fear of punishment so you try to project it out onto the world. That’s why we say the best thing to do with anger is to **let the anger do as it likes**, but simply sit back and watch it, without judgment. Over time, this diffuses the energy supply because you are denying its energy source.

J'ai pensé à "laisser/donner libre cours à la colère", mais le ton général du texte est assez familier. Je recherche une formulation ds le mm registre sans pour autant choisir "laisser la colère faire ce qu'elle veut"... |

Explanation:
L'idée de "do as it likes" est de donner l'espace, la liberté, de non contraindre. A mon sens "s'exprimer" répond bien à cette idée.
