176 - Dysfunctional Family Dynamics: Navigating Conflict (Part 2) - Processing Anger
Description
Is thinking that you’re “just angry” preventing you from truly resolving conflict? 🤔
Anger is often a secondary emotion - meaning it is a mask for another emotion like fear, sadness, shame or disappointment. When we don’t recognize that our anger is masking deeper, more uncomfortable emotions, it keeps us from seeing the conflict clearly. Instead, we end up reacting to our anger rather than addressing the real, underlying issues.
True conflict resolution only happens when we dig deeper and uncover what's beneath the surface. It’s not about “winning” an argument; it’s about understanding ourselves and each other better.
In today's episode of Adult Child, we break down how to process your anger in a way that helps you get to the heart of the conflict, rather than staying stuck in a cycle of reactive emotions.
