How To Control Your PTSD Anger
If you live with PTSD, then you definitely have had your share of angry outbursts. How could you not? Your fuse is small, your triggers large and your ability to go with the flow went out the window the day your trauma(s) occurred.
Is there hope for you to proactively manage your anger? You bet!
The Roots of Your Anger
This week on my radio show, I interviewed an anger expert, Janet Pfeiffer, about how to flip the power struggle between PTSD and anger.
Pfeiffer had some great ideas, including the three causes of anger. (You can listen to the entire anger management podcast here.)
Which root cause of anger applies to you and what does it mean? Find out in this week's audio clip.
