Summary

"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. Need more help?
