This is Jenny Allen and you are listening to the Made for This podcast.

So as you guys know, the season we are talking about all the different things we are

feeling and going through and guys it is a unique time and if you haven't listened to the podcast with Anita

Phillips that is a few weeks back I want you to do that and the reason why is because she

really lays the groundwork for the conversations we're having in this season

which is that we're under trauma.

There are a lot of emotions we're all feeling that are a result of anxiety and trauma that has come from a lot of unknowns, right?

We are living in the world of unknowns.

There are threats to every part of our lives it feels like and conflict raging everywhere.

So of course we are going to be living in that threshold of irritability and being easily

angered, easily offended.

That is kind of what I'm seeing everywhere right now.

We were in some counseling for one of our kids

and they were showing us the threshold for

you know blowing up losing your temper or whatever and and they showed us you know most people

if they're healthy and they haven't experienced trauma and they're not

going through anything really dramatic it takes a lot to really push their buttons

and to make them angry but if you've been through trauma if you've been

through something that's causing anxiety, then your threshold to reaction

into anger and to blowing your top is a lot smaller.

So I think we've just got to say that out loud

and everybody needs to hear it.
