I have burned countless bridges when that chemical FoF mechanism turns on, and then I keep on feeding it. I've witnessed myself think "stop!" but my emotions in those moments won't let me. That "rage' moment is unbelievably powerful

[PeaceFan]

I have been Angry my whole life because of what my Parents did to me, treated me, etc. It has been with me, my whole life and I think I lash out because of the Trauma and Hurt I felt and endured as a child!

[ellenholmshaw]

I've realised my 2 biggest triggers are when people don't use common sense and when people are immoral...I do obviously realise that those two things are subjective so will be my view of what those things mean to me.

I have an intense primal rage simmering underneath everything always. But I can't feel anger in my daily life, and when I do feel anger, it is delayed and it's too late to tell the person I'm angry. I have great control over my "anger", but the rage I feel when I think about my mother is intense.

Barbara Heffernan, thank you so much. There are few who know how to help with this subject of anger, and especially without a judgmental tone.

My rage had made me feel like a monster lately. Its fueled by the "its not fair" thinking thats cause by my lack of boundaries and the black and white thinking that comes from fear.

After i had my son, i gained the ability to tap into what i call "mama bear mode." Advocating for him came naturally to me. Advocating for myself...not so much. 😅 Loving him is teaching me so much.

Every period of time in my life when I felt anger was consuming me, my boundaries were massively being crossed. I never put two and two together. I’m just now learning how to set and stand by healthy boundaries for myself.

I'm owed £200million in a negligence case and I keep being tol to stay quiet. So keep getting angry and smashing stuff. Real mamma bear anger. My child is an adult now but I won forget. This video is really helpful for analysing anger and rage being very different. I hav been rageful for years. That's not helped my health. But I will get compensation for the trauma that we have been put through as a family.

[daphne]

FINALLY. A helpful video on understanding anger. Thank you.

[audreybridget]

I have been in therapy since 14 for childhood trauma, im experiencing grief now at 20 and I feel so much rage not even upset just rage and I’ve realised I’ve never been taught how to be angry without breaking down

[navada]

I can’t afford much therapy, but from trauma of living with a very gross ex roommate, I realized my anger is because I feel traumatized from that experience, and scared that I’ll be taken advantage of. I’m really glad I’m starting to do something about this.

[tuxedoneko]

Ty! This is the most helpful discussion/information on anger. I am a "freeze" and that leads to anger about my inability to think or act when hurt.

[KalinaVel]

Thank you for yet another perfectly structured and well explained video! Anger, as well as impatience, are two of the most difficult things for me to feel - on one side these emotions are unpleasant (to say mildly) to endure, but also, they often bring unpleasant consequences as a result of poorly managing them.

This is an excellent video regarding how to understand and manage anger. J Scott Rhule LMFT

I really resonate with the way you think and explain things. Blessings

[TheRoxieKat]

Omg this is so I went from zero to 60 and couldn't (still cant) STOP. It would quickly turn to rage and I am unable to stop.... I switched therapists bc this guy just said. * count to 10*
Dude! I can't stop to count. I'm totally into survival response. Ughhhh

[athenacummings]

Learned this through DBT. They both are so closely intertwined and helpful. Thank you.

[kimberlymiller]

Wow. Thank you so much. This is the first sound advice I've seen about anger. I feel empowered and ready to use this. You spell everything out so clearly!!

[joannesmith]

This is the most comprehensive, thoughtful and helpful video on anger that I've ever seen. New ideas so well expressed. So practical.
