Episode 2647: Dr. Kelly Flanagan reveals how recognizing the four distinct types of anger, defensive, frustrated, scared, and righteous, can transform the way we respond to life’s challenges. By shifting from impulsive reactions to thoughtful examination, we can break destructive cycles and cultivate greater peace, authenticity, and compassion in ourselves and our communities. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://drkellyflanagan.com/the-four-kinds-of-anger-and-how-to-handle-them-better/ Quotes to ponder: "Anger is just an emotion. It’s immaterial.
