We’ve all felt those little annoyances that bubble under the surface. But what about those times when that simmer turns into a rolling boil and you say something harsh to your person? How you respond to your anger can very well change the course of your relationship, and ultimately your life. This week, Lisa and Benjamin break down The Four Consequences of Anger that we may not think about during those heated moments. They talk about how much a man wants to avoid the blaming and shaming, and what happens in his head and heart the moment a woman starts lashing out. Lisa and Benjamin share ways to slow down your nervous system, honor your feelings, and choose language that helps to meet your needs instead of causing damage.
