In this episode, Marielle and Ed discuss the emotion of anger. In its most useful form, anger moves us to protect and defend ourselves and those we care about.   Many people, though, find anger frightening because they have witnessed destructive expressions of anger such as emotional or physical violence. This episode unpacks the emotion of anger so you can understand it in yourself and potentially in others.   Sometimes anger fits the facts, and sometimes faulty interpretations can intensify anger, making us believe that we are being treated unfairly or that things should be different than they are. Skills such as Observing and Describing Emotions, Paced Breathing, Check the Facts and Opposite Action can be particularly helpful in responding to anger effectively.   For full show notes, visit our website: <a href= "https://bayareadbtcc.com/podcast">https://bayareadbtcc.com/podcast</a> DBT Skills Discussed <a style="text-decoration: none;" href= "https://bayareadbtcc.com/03-the-what-skills-of-mindfulness/"> Observing and Describing Emotions</a> <a style="text-decoration: none;" href= "https://bayareadbtcc.com/check-the-facts/"> Check the Facts</a> <a style="text-decoration: none;" href= "https://bayareadbtcc.com/opposite-action/"> Opposite Action</a> <a style="text-decoration: none;" href= "https://bayareadbtcc.com/tipp-skill-calm-body/"> Paced Breathing</a>
