The Psychology Behind Why We Hurt Others
Show Notes

In this episode, I discuss what causes frustration that leads to aggression in our lives. The episode starts with understanding Tony Robbins 6 human needs and how having those differing needs can be a root of frustration if we can't learn to accept each others differences. As the talk continues, I discuss topics from the book by Elliot Aronson called "Social Psychology."  I explain the social impact of aggression on others through Bandura's Bobo doll experiment, and the presence of alcohol as a cause for more aggression. As this episode concludes, we explore ways to combat the frustration and urge to hurt others in 3 ways;  Counting to 10, taking deep breaths, and going for a walk. If you struggle with dealing with frustration and finding that you are hurting others, definitely give this one a listen!
