Intense, uncontrollable anger is the scariest part of borderline personality disorder for a lot of people. And I don't mean scary for those around us (although them too) but for many of us it's a shameful, uncontrollable rage that feels like it will ruin our lives - and it absolutely ruins our happiness.
Dave, Shannon, Laurie, Heather and Kat talk about what anger looks like in their lives, the differences between the internal and external expressions of anger, and how we have learned to manage our anger and unproductive coping mechanisms that often come with it.
Together we discuss the challenges of managing anger, the importance of accountability, and the skills that help us navigate our emotions.
Our conversation highlights the struggle between feeling justified in anger at times and the need for self-awareness and emotional regulation.
