Head Space Studio. Hey, my name is Nika, and welcome to Radio Headspace and to Tuesday.

I'm a Co-Cheared Headspace, and one of my specialties is Anger, which is exactly what this week is all about.

And today I have something very interesting for you.

So as I was scrolling through one of my many streaming services,

I came across a reality TV show that I've never seen before, so I decided I wanted to give it a look.

And of course, I was not disappointed by the drama that ensued.

There were shenanigans abound. But one of the cast members really stood out to me because he seemed

irritated, annoyed, and frustrated at someone for most of the entire episode.

And I noticed that he was experiencing what I like to call chronic anger,

which is so much more complicated to deal with than the show actually portrayed.

Because in general, anger is more complicated than many people think.

There are actually four different types of anger that we're going to dig into today.

And by understanding each of these, you can hopefully better understand how you're feeling and figure

out the help that you may need. So let's get into it. So the four types of

anger are normal, explosive, chronic, and bitter.

So normal anger is pretty much what it sounds, right?

It's when someone essentially has what we call low frequency so they don't get angry very often the duration of it is very short and it is a low intensity right so you're not exploding over you know all over the place.

And again, I just want to reiterate or just state the fact

that it's okay that you have normal anger, right?

It's not explosive, it doesn't impact your relationships

in a negative way, you're just expressing yourself and saying like,

this is uncomfortable to me and this is how I'm feeling.
