In this episode of Chat with Dr. Kat, Dr. Kat explores how unregulated emotion shows up in everyday public life — especially on social media, in parking lots, restaurants, and moments where people feel justified in being cruel.

Drawing from clinical insight and real-world examples, she explains why angry and hurt people often act out in public spaces, how awareness is the first step to interrupting these reactions, and why kindness is not weakness but a sign of emotional regulation.

This conversation invites listeners to reflect on their own reactions, recognize patterns of aggression and defensiveness, and learn how to express opinions and boundaries in ways that can actually be heard.

As always, there’s no fluff and no judgment — just real talk that leads to real change.
