Summary: In this episode, Joseph lists five practical ways we can
control our anger. It is natural to feel anger in a stressful
situation such as a fight with a partner or loved one. But
yielding to our anger and its consequential actions rarely
results in good; instead, it can perpetuate a fight and even
worsen it. Tune-in as Joseph explains the five D’s that we can
employ to manage our anger in those heated moments. By utilizing
one of these suggestions, the hope is that we’ll be able to reach
a peaceful solution rather than give way to a shouting match.

Decibel Lowering: Shouting leads to hyperarousal, and it is
likely that you will be shouted back at. Lowering your decibel
causes your partner to mirror you and it stops the conversation
from spinning out of control o 03:19 – Delay: Amygdala, a part of
the brain that helps us experience emotions kicks in faster than
our logical brain. This is a problem. Calling a timeout when you
experience anger lets your logical brain take over o 05:06 –
Distract: Quarantine a sensitive issue that is likely to cause a
fight and talk about it at a more appropriate time o 06:18 –
Define feelings and a solution: When angry, the reptilian brain
kicks in which does not permit you to arrive at a logical
solution. It is wise to clearly express your feelings and
prescribe a solution instead of succumbing to anger o 07:09 –
Diffuse: Cut your losses instead of worsening a fight; instead of
making angry comments which are likely to further escalate a
fight, it is better to diffuse the situation 08:17 – Please
