A lot of time, people will say that they are angry—but even when that is the emotion you think you are feeling, it's often a cover-up for deeper feelings like hurt, sadness, or shame.
By identifying and addressing these underlying emotions, you can make progress toward resolving your issues.
So, how can you uncover and address the underlying emotions masked by anger to make progress toward resolving issues and avoid getting stuck in a negative emotional state?
On this episode of the "Destined To Be" podcast, Jeremiah and Mallory dive deeper into the topic of anger and explore ways to manage and cope with this powerful emotion.
They share how the fight, flight, freeze, or fun (appeasing or people-pleasing) responses can arise when one's nervous system becomes dysregulated and how to create the awareness needed to keep from becoming stuck in these reactive states.
Listen in as they discuss the importance of testing boundaries in relationships (while staying within a safe container) and the need for each partner to recognize and regulate their emotions in order to have healthy relationships. Plus, practical tips for supporting your partner when they are in a dysregulated state.
