Very often it's somebody else's anger that gets in the way of your success. This takes milliseconds, that's the blink of an eye.
Anger—it's that fiery emotion that can wreak havoc on our lives and relationships. In this engaging episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods chats with Dr. Joseph Shrand, a psychiatrist from Harvard Medical School, who has dedicated his career to understanding and managing anger. Dr. Shrand breaks down the science behind this intense emotion, focusing on the amygdala, the brain's alarm system, and how it can trigger anger in an instant.
But it's not just about the brain. Dr. Shrand dives into the 'theory of mind'—the ability to understand others' thoughts and feelings—and explains how empathy and mirror neurons play crucial roles in diffusing anger. He shares practical tools from his book, 'Outsmarting Anger', offering listeners actionable steps to recognize and manage their own anger, as well as strategies to deal with others' outbursts. Throughout the episode, Dr. Shrand emphasizes the importance of self-reflection, trust, and strong relationships in managing anger.
He also highlights the benefits of evidence-based practices and common sense in supporting emotional health. His work with Clean and Sober Teens Living Empowered (CASTLE) showcases how young people can be empowered to handle their emotions and build healthy relationships. Whether you're grappling with your own anger or dealing with someone else's, this episode provides valuable insights and practical advice to help you navigate these turbulent waters.
Tune in to learn how to tame the beast of anger and foster more harmonious relationships.
