NOTE

Understanding the Narrative Creation and Anger Management

The creation of a narrative around certain emotions or self-identifying characteristics may engrain them into one's identity. Recognizing triggers and finding ways to disengage from them is crucial in creating change. Reflecting on the triggers, understanding them, and finding ways to not engage with them is vital. Constantly reminding oneself that certain characteristics or emotions are no longer needed is essential in the process of change. The speaker appreciates the influence of the person they are speaking to in understanding and addressing these issues. The conversation also touches on the title and cover of a book about anger management by Seneca the Younger.
