Episode 3692:

Sabrina shares a raw and powerful journey of confronting her anger, not by blaming others, but by uncovering her own responsibility for her reactions. With the help of therapy, self-awareness, and mindfulness techniques, she reveals how recognizing physical cues and planning ahead can transform anger into clarity and control.

Quotes to ponder:

"Nobody was making me angry. In fact, nothing in this world had or has any real ability to make anybody feel angry."

"I had the option, at every step leading to that final dish-breaking scene, to let go of my anger and pick a different response."

"Now whenever I notice any of these signs I would make a mental note that I was starting to feel angry."
