If you clicked on this article because you wanted to read about anger management, you may be disappointed. In the event you were, I highly recommend the book, "Feeling Good" by David Burns: https://www.amazon.com/David-M-D-Burns-Feeling-Good/dp/B00GYUBBRG https://www.amazon.com/David-M-D-Burns-Feeling-Good/dp/B00GY... Burns turned his practice into a platform, featuring a very active podcast. He's working with people on a mobile app and is publishing the sequel to "Feeling Good" (Feeling Great), scheduled for publication Sept 2020: https://feelinggood.com/ https://feelinggood.com/ The podcast is a treasure trove of information. If you can tolerate the slow pace of the show, you can learn a lot.

I'm the author. It absolutely is about anger management. Sorry it doesn't seem to be your cup of tea, but it wasn't misnamed or something.

  Thanks for writing the article. Fortunately, I can't relate, but it gave me some insight into the inner lives of people I know and love who probably could relate. It will help me more effectively empathize with them.

  > I'm the author. It absolutely is about anger management. I get that. I think his point was the article spoke of your realization that you needed to - and could - let go of your anger. And although you discussed the process, I suspect what he didn't see were methods & techniques. For example: How does one actually let go of anger? or Let's say you have learned how to let go of anger. But when you release your hold on it, it just hangs there, not leaving. What do you do? Stuff like that. Appreciate your engagement, btw. It means a lot.

David Burn's book really changed my life for the better :) Even nowadays I have the list[0] of cognitive distortions bookmarked and every time I get triggered by something I go through the list and check to which disortions I'm falling victim. Every time I feel better after doing that.
