Episode 2025

Dr. Margaret Rutherford's insightful article on managing anger and conflict in family settings highlights the importance of understanding and appropriately expressing anger as a reflection of our core values and personal boundaries. It offers a thoughtful perspective on how our reactions to anger can be guided by deeply held beliefs, emphasizing the significance of self-awareness and effective communication in personal growth.

Quotes to ponder:

"Anger isn’t violent in and of itself. The power of anger can be respected, and voiced respectfully."

"If you grew up in an avoidant family you can learn to voice your identity or your opinion, believe in your own worth, and express that opinion appropriately."

"You can change your own behavior. That’s it. That’s what you have control over."
