A speaker offers one technique to stop anger: name the emotions of the person you're talking to instead of focusing on their words. It works by preventing your amygdala from triggering, but only if you can do it in the moment when you're already upset.

Once you start naming other people's emotions, you'll never get angry or upset again. It's powerful, it's amazing, and it works. This is how you stop getting angry or bothered by anyone. Not by managing yourself harder, but by shifting your attention from their words to their emotional state. Now I want to give you one solid thing you can take from this video and use today, because everything I've described only works if you can actually do it in the moment, under pressure, when your own amygdala is starting to fire.
