Temper Your Temper (Anger Part 1)

Why do we get so angry all the time? Well, because anger is one of the oldest (and most complex) emotions. Anger is also a shield or a mask that hides our true feelings. We'll go to great ends to cover up fear or past trauma. We'll make a big show of our anger or we'll ice someone in a passive aggressive response.

The good news is that anger is normal. Since we all feel it, we shouldn't shame ourselves for it. The key is understanding our triggers and measuring our response.

Because this topic is complex, we've broken this conversation into three parts, but I need a time out before I can tell you about the next part and you should take that time to think about what you've done because you've really upset me and that's why I threw that glass and I won't lower my voice because I don't want to talk you. Whew...
