6. Can Anger Be a Good Thing in Relationships?
Katie has special guest Molli Ashmore Pruitt on the show today, Molly is a marriage therapist who also studies brain health. This week Katie and Molli are taking a deeper dive into anger and our programmed responses and reactions. Both Katie and Molli share experiences on how they have changed the way they look at anger but also tools and strategies to help us reflect.
Anger is often associated with childhood responses, and the ability to tuck away anger because it’s seen as a negative emotion. But, anger is a catalyst for change. When we view anger as a door to understand emotions, we can better understand what exactly our anger is trying to teach us.
Molli and Katie help us dig deeper by encouraging listeners to ask themselves these questions.
- What is my relationship with anger?
- What is happening? What am I noticing when I become angry?
- What are triggers for anger?
- How am I automatically reacting?
Anger can suck the life out of us if we do not have the internal regulation to control it. But, when you do the mindset work it can help you change your life and your marriage. Anger doesn’t have to be viewed as a negative emotion but instead it can help you to better understand what is going on at a deeper level. Anger disguises itself in different ways, and in fact it’s a healthy emotion when we confront it with the right tools.
