"I Don't Have Anger Issues!" Jun 09, 2023

"I Don't Have Anger Issues!"

When I was in my 30's, little things going wrong would cause me to explode. I'd yell, catastrophize ("Now the whole night is ruined!), storm off saying, "You guys would be better off without me!" and then come back later saying I wouldn't do that again. But I would. What I didn't realize was how I was holding my family hostage to MY emotions. If you recognize yourself in this podcast, you're not alone. Let's change this once and for all.

Do you have a child who is bossy, melts down over changes in plans or transitions? Acts like a sore loser when playing games? Collects little stones and acorns in their pant pockets?

Has difficulty with executive function and following directions? Struggle with anxiety over new experiences? Good. Kirk explains why all of these behaviors have the same root…and similar solutions.
