Self-blame and shame can hinder change, while reminding oneself of being a good person who is struggling can lead to a shift in mindset and openness to curiosity. Instead of focusing on the moment of failure, it is more productive to examine the steps that led to it. This self-compassionate approach can lead to positive and productive outcomes, such as establishing a simple exercise routine for physical well-being.
Dr. Becky Kennedy is back to discuss something rarely talked about: “mom rage” – and the crucial connection between anger and our unmet needs.
- What leads to these explosive moments – and why it's more common than we might think;
- How understanding the story behind the rage moment can help us figure out what led to it and what we need.
- The impact of society's shaming of anger in women; and
- Tips for managing our anger, recognizing our needs, and taking care of ourselves.
