Rhea Seehorn

And it's interesting you ask, because I haven't pinned down, like, was it something I saw in real life or something on a television show?

Or where was I getting this messaging that it wasn't okay to raise my voice, to be very, very sharp?

Yeah.

I'm not sure of the answer of that, but I know that it got to a place where it went too far, literally to the place of, like, I'm nodding and just saying yes or whatever to, you know, somebody that's maybe speaking to me in a way that I absolutely disagree with.

And I go home and break out in eczema.

And that's not an exaggeration.

So I'm just like, clearly the anger is going somewhere.

I don't think it's okay to scream and yell in someone's face, but...

I think I have become conflict avoidant in the suppression of that anger to a degree that's not healthy.

I will stand up for somebody else, though, in a heartbeat.

If somebody else is being mistreated next to me, I'm in there.

I'll take you to the mat.

But if it's at me, I tend to swallow it and try to figure out how I can make it better.

It didn't feel...

To be completely honest, it didn't feel like therapeutic, like, oh, thank God I have a place to release all of my anger now.

But instead, for me, I would take Carol's moments of sort of explosive anger.

And I feel like prior to this event happening...

She probably had anger issues, but she didn't explode a lot because Helen, her partner, was this complete buffer.

But now in this after event, I feel like if that's taken away from Carol and it becomes... And that was fun as an actor, to have this extreme obstacle to somebody that does just unleash rage, is extremely reactive, extremely...

Impulsive.
