The anger isn’t really the problem. It’s what’s underneath it.
The reaction that’s three sizes too big for the moment. The look on your kid’s face afterward. The apology you’ve made too many times. Anger that frightens the people you love — and you — usually isn’t about temper. It’s pain, fear, or trauma that never had another way out.
I’m Dr. Samuel. I’ve worked with anger that comes from somewhere real — veterans whose rage was a wound from war, survivors whose nervous systems learned that attack meant safety. In veterans’ clinics and refugee settings I learned to treat the trauma beneath the temper, not just police the temper. I also work with the families living around it.
