🧠 Changing Anger Management #podcasts #neuroscience #emotionalresilience

But I think a lot of times when we see someone who struggled with anger, we just think, I don't want to be around them. That's not a very cool person. And so I think we're less sympathetic to that as a struggle and see it more as a, like a character defect or someone just being a problematic person. When in reality, anger is a threat emotion, just like fear, just like anxiety. And when people are struggling with anger, they're struggling with the threat emotion. They haven't you haven't yet figured out how to manage. And so I think that it's a much more useful thing to recognize that as a struggle rather than to get into judging and shaming and things like that.

Yeah. But also not waiting until you have to have a diagnosis to see someone about it, right? When it's that low-level irritation to work on that, but it takes a little self-awareness.
