<p>When you look back on the moments you regret most in your life, a fair number of them likely involved you being angry. And if these cringe-inducing, life- and relationship-damaging moments happen more often than you'd like, then it's time to start thinking about how to get a handle on your anger.</p><p>My guest today offers help in that process. His name is Dr. Chip Tafrate, and he's a clinical psychologist, a professor of criminology and criminal justice, and the co-author, along with Howard Kassinove, of <a href="https://amzn.to/3lJbKqR"><i>Anger Management for Everyone: Ten Proven Strategies to Help You Control Anger and Live a Happier Life</i></a>. Chip walks us through what anger is, how it's distinctive from aggression, and how it can be both destructive <i>and</i> healthy. We then get into some of the strategies Chip recommends for managing your anger so it stays in that latter zone, including making changes to your lifestyle, avoiding anger-inducing triggers, reframing your thoughts, and doing anger exposure therapy.</p><h2>Resources Related to the Podcast</h2><ul><li><a href="https://www.udemy.com/course/anger-management-for-any-situation-10-ways-to-control-anger/#instructor-1">Anger Management for Any Situation — Chip and Howard's Udemy course</a></li><li><a href="https://www.artofmanliness.com/health-fitness/health/podcast-614-get-out-of-your-mind-and-into-your-life/">AoM podcast #614 with Steven Hayes on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy</a></li><li><a href="https://www.artofmanliness.com/character/behavior/how-to-deal-with-anger/">AoM Podcast #489: How to Get a Handle on Your Anger</a></li><li><a href="https://www.artofmanliness.com/character/behavior/reframing-for-resilience/">AoM Article: How Reframing Builds Resilience</a></li><li><a href="https://www.artofmanliness.com/character/behavior/the-virtuous-life-tranquility/">AoM Article: The Virtuous Life — Tranquility</a></li></ul><h2>Connect With Dr. Chip Tafrate</h2><ul><li><a href="https://www2.ccsu.edu/faculty/TafrateR">Chip's faculty page at CCSU</a></li></ul><img src="https://content.artofmanliness.com/uploads/2022/05/61rlC-O6W3L.jpeg" alt="" /><h2>Listen to the Podcast!
