Season 1 - Anger

Anger is an emotion that, for the most part, accompanies most of us in the beginning stages of our Recovery process. Once we join a 12 Step program, and work closely with a Licensed Therapist or Licensed Therapy team, it is an emotion we can hopefully look forward to regulating. If we do, it will serve us well as parents, and serve our children even better. 4:10 - Definition of Anger in Psychology Today4:30 - Huberman Lab Podcast, How your Brain works and Changes4:55 - Social Media and Emotions Research article, Social Media Use and Its Impact on Relationships and Emotions5:20 - Cyber Bullying resources 5:45 - Social Media algorithms and anger as captured from an article published in Psychology Today, 5 Ugly Truths About Big Tech6:00 - Anger and Physical Health, American Psychology Association resources6:40 - Anger in children, Yale Medicine, Anger, Irritability and Aggression in Kids6:45 - Definition of ACES: Adverse Childhood Experiences7:30 - Gabor Mate interview on multiple adults helping to support raising children9:30 - The Science of Emotion, Harvard, Anger Management10:50 - The link above to 'Anger Management' addresses how parents can also understand their own anger, and the impact it has on our children.  Thank you for listening and please visit www.siblinghoodofrecovery.com for free resources, links to organizations, groups and individuals who can offer help in the Journey of Recovery towards healing from substance use disorders.
