About this episode

Dr. Lee Warren discusses four self-brain surgery tools to help regain control over anger and emotional responses.

Take a breath and stop letting anger drive. Today, I’m going to show you four practical self-brain surgery operations you can use immediately to move out of reactive brain management mode and into clarity, intention, and control. In this episode, I challenge the popular idea that you need to vent, smash things, or “let it out,” and I share research showing that high-arousal catharsis often increases anger and future aggression, while calming practices like breathing, mindfulness, and prayer reduce anger and cortisol. Then I walk you through a focused protocol that names the feeling and chooses a values-aligned response.
