"I learned early in my own therapy to accept my anger-to view it as a natural emotion that is part of being human... This differentiation is a major awareness for constructively managing it."
"Anger is in almost all cases a reaction to and distraction from even more uncomfortable emotions-such as forms of hurt, fear, grief, shame, powerlessness, or helplessness."
"When observing the anger of others, this awareness leads me to be empathic, with a capacity to attend not only to their anger but also to the pain behind their anger—the bigger picture of what is occurring."
"I work with clients from my perspective that we are all children, doing our best to be an adult in this challenging life... to help me to not get hooked with the intensity of their emotions."
