    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
  • @PeaceFan1
    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!
  • 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.
  • @PaigeSquared
    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.
  • 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.
  • @daphne3717
    FINALLY. A helpful video on understanding anger. Thank you.
  • 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
  • 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.
  • @daphne3717
    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 wish I could have you as my therapist. You’re hitting the nail on the head
  • @URFUTUREUK
    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.
  • 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!!
  • @JP-tw9wu
    This is very helpful so thank you 🙏🏾
  • Learned this through DBT. They both are so closely intertwined and helpful. Thank you.
  • @KalinaVel0505
    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.
  • @joannesmith8840
    This is the most comprehensive, thoughtful and helpful video on anger that I've ever seen. New ideas so well expressed. So practical.
  • @DCBUNDLESHAIR
    I really resonate with the way you think and explain things. Blessings
  • You are awesome! Thank you for this. You shared new things, as well as things that make sense - like that we don’t always have thoughts that precede all our feelings.
  • @arsonnick125
    Thank you for all of your hard work and all that you do. ❤
  • I'm someone who has been struggling with anger my whole life. But right now it is destroying my marriage. Nothing helps
