Clarify Your Emotions

Dr Tshidi M Wyllie,PhD. Season 3 Episode 8

- It is important to identify and clarify your emotions.

- Emotions are harmless, how emotions  are expressed however is another thing

- Anger is a normal feeling, knowing what triggered it is essential.

- Embracing anger than suppressing it is helpful and healthy

- Establishing  positive, effective  ways of expressing anger in a less aggressive manner is not only good for the person with anger, but also good for other  people and essential for healthy relationships.

- The flip side of Anger = dAnger 

- Negatively expressed anger is detrimental to one’s health and can be dangerous when aggressive behaviour is used as an instrument for expressing anger. 

- Anger is a feeling, Aggression is a behaviour.

- Journal the incident/situation that led to your anger, what could you have done differently, how would you respond under similar situation in the future?

- Decode the data/ information or important message behind the anger. Is there an unmet need? What is your anger teaching or telling you?

- What purpose is your anger or the emotion you are feeling  serving? 

- Is it justified? challenge the thoughts associated with  the anger emotion .
