EP 501: Are You Addicted to Anger?

If you’ve ever survived a fit of rage or extreme anger - they’re not actually the same, which I’ll talk about in tomorrow’s episode - you know the feeling. That feeling you have after the episode is over. You feel your body calming back down and there’s a tingling, almost euphoric feeling you get in your body. For those of us with chronic anger issues, this feeling is as good as we ever get to feel! The feeling comes from the release of various happy hormones in our brains and it happens as a result of the release of the anger through expression. And it becomes addictive! Another experience that offers us a similar release of happy hormones after hyperarousal is a crisis. In today’s episode, I go into some detail about how all this works in our bodies: If you struggle with chronic anger and rage; or if you feel that you might be addicted to crisis, you’re gonna want to know about my upcoming course: Anger Transformed.
