There is a biology to anger and violence.
Ever wonder why some people seem to explode at the slightest provocation while others remain calm under pressure? In this episode of The Brain Warrior’s Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen tackle the fascinating and often misunderstood topic of anger. They delve into the biology behind those fiery outbursts, offering a scientific perspective on why some of us are more prone to anger than others.
According to the Amens, our brains can sometimes be wired in ways that make us more susceptible to rage and irritability. They call this the 'Angry Dragon', a term that captures how our past hurts, shame, and disappointments can trigger intense emotional reactions. The episode doesn't just stop at explaining why we get angry; it goes further to offer practical advice on how to manage and tame this powerful emotion. Dr.
Daniel and Tana share techniques for identifying personal anger triggers and discuss the importance of expressing anger healthily. They emphasize that holding onto anger can often be a misguided attempt to feel in control when we actually feel powerless. By the end of the episode, listeners will have a better understanding of their own 'Angry Dragon' and how to keep it in check without resorting to harmful behaviors.
