061: Anger is a Message


Listen Later

Psychologists describe anger as a secondary emotion. 

There’s always a primary emotion that’s driving the anger.

Picture an iceberg – Anger is just at the tip. Another emotion is beneath the surface that’s causing your anger to bubble up. 

So if you notice yourself getting triggered easily, check in to see what’s really going on. 

Here’s what most men are experiencing beneath the surface:

  1. Stress
  2. Shame
  3. Fear
  4. Sadness

Four super uncomfortable emotions that we tend to push down, causing an explosion later on with our wife or kids. 

This episode will teach you to use anger as a message – Figure out what’s really going on so you can lighten the load and be a more calm, approachable man.
