"Mindful Anger" with Dr. Andrea Brandt

Amy Alkon's HumanLab: The Science Between Us

Amy Alkon's HumanLab -- The Science Between Us, a weekly show with the luminaries of behavioral science and therapy.
Whether you're an anger venter or an anger withholder (or something in between), this is a show for you.
My guest tonight, therapist Dr. Andrea Brandt, writes that “our culture has a built-in phobia of negative emotions,” which isolates us from each other and has myriad unhealthy and counterproductive effects on us personally.
Her goal -- in her book, Mindful Anger: a pathway to emotional freedom, and on this show -- is not to help you get rid of your anger but to help you understand and handle it in healthy and constructive ways. You should, in turn, find that this leads to cascading positive effects in every arena of your life.
Join me and all my fascinating guests every Sunday, 7-8 p.m. PT, 10-11 p.m. ET, at blogtalkradio.com/amyalkon or subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher.
Support my show and improve yourself with a copy of my "science-help" book, "Unf*ckology: A Field Guide to Living with Guts and Confidence."
