Episode notes
Anger Is Biochemistry Before Emotion
- Anger is first a biochemical event that hijacks reason by activating the amygdala and flooding stress hormones into the body.
- Awareness and deep breathing re-engage the prefrontal cortex so you can choose a calmer response.
Pause And Breathe Before Reacting
- When anger arises, consciously breathe deeply to interrupt the stress loop and calm your nervous system.
- Use the pause to let reason re-engage so your negative emotion becomes a redirectable current.
Anger As A Transformative Teacher
- Anger can be energy-neutral and a teacher that reveals fear, loss, or attachment needing attention.
- Channeled consciously, anger fuels transformation and social justice rather than destruction.
