Summary
We are so uncomfortable with anger, but the truth is that it’s there to HELP us. It reminds us when our boundaries have been crossed or when we aren’t being true to ourselves. Cathy and Todd share personal stories of anger and how it transformed their way of thinking. Once we embrace how anger can be helpful, it won’t scare us as much when our children get angry. They also discuss The Dark Knight Rises and Batman Begins and how Bruce Wayne embraces his fear and anger and uses it for good – can you “stand in the bats” like he did?

| 0:52.5 | Right. |
| 0:52.8 | But you just said working with it. |
| 0:54.2 | And I think that even softens the idea of anger not being such a bad thing. |
