If you have not seen Disney's Inside Out or its latest release, Inside Out 2, go see it. No spoilers here. The movies are about the emotional growth of Riley. We meet Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear, and Aner in the first movie and more emotions come into play in the second. The team worked with psychologists to be as accurate as possible with how the mind works. It is all pretty amazing. In working with the church I serve, we are looking at Lament. It is anger and sadness turned to prayer. When we lament, as seen repeatedly in the Psalms, we turn to God, make our complaint known, ask for God's help and trust that God will be God, that God loves us and cares for us and God will act. Our society doesn't like to deal with hard emotions, but I think it is important for us to learn how to lament and let faith help us unpack and work through big emotions.
