Have you ever been in the middle of a heated argument where you’re feeling angry, but you're working very hard to keep calm… and the next thing you know, you’re crying?

 

Join me, Dr. Laurie Bruce, your clinical psychologist and mindfulness coach, as we unpack why tears sometimes show up not when we’re sad but when we’re angry. Crying when angry is actually common; it’s our body’s release valve. But when it becomes a vicious cycle that makes it worse.

Together, we’ll explore the psychological and biological reasons behind it, why women in particular are more likely to experience this, and practical ways you can handle it.

 

Listen to this week’s episode of From Both Sides Of The Couch: Why Women Cry When Angry (Angry Tears & What You Can Do)
