Wes Taylor, Certified NVC Trainer: In this vintage 1999 video, Wes Taylor leads a group of young people in a lively discussion on working with anger. He clarifies that anger is a valid feeling that is a product of "jackal" thinking and points out that anger is never the primary emotion; there is always a more vulnerable feeling underneath anger.
When feeling angry, Wes suggests that you ask yourself two simple questions:
- Is there a deeper feeling underneath my anger?
- What are the thoughts I have that are making someone wrong?
- If you or someone you love has difficulty dealing with their anger, this video is a must. You will learn valuable tools for understanding and then healing anger.
