EP 495: The Difference Between Anger Management and Anger Transformation

If you google the word ‘Anger’, you will see a cascade of websites, blog posts, and articles fill your screen. A very high percentage of these results will surely include the term ‘Anger Management.’ Of course, anyone who has experienced uncontrolled anger in their lives knows that there is a huge value in learning to manage this tumultuous emotion. But I say that trying to manage anger, once it’s reached, or even approached, the level of rage is nearly impossible. So not only will this nearly impossible task be out of reach for most people, the question becomes: what happens when we fail to manage our anger? Of course, one thing that happens is that the anger just continues to grow and evolve toward rage, which carries all kinds of dire consequences. But another, more insidious thing that happens is that we feel shame that we weren’t able to manage this emotion. I probably don’t have to tell you that the shame we’ve now introduced will eventually become more anger and hurry us toward that point of rage. In today’s episode, I talk about how we can transform the way we see and relate to our own anger: And of course, this tool will work on any and all of the emotions we experience!
