David Morgan’s Story Growing up David struggled with inattention, had low frustration tolerance and anger was an issue. He received lots of mixed messages about anger and aggression because there was a lack of understanding about the subject. Even though he had a lot of friends, anger, and apathy was a defense mechanism for him.
In college, when David had more control over his environment, felt better about sports and a lot more positive, he did a better job of managing his anger. Because of his own experience, this really propelled him to developing these programs and write books
In This Podcast Summary In this podcast episode, Joe Sanok speaks with David Morgan about why he chose this specific niche, techniques to use in anger management and how he launched his e-course.
Looking Through The Anger Management Lens A lot of the times we see kids as angry but we don’t really see what’s behind the anger.
Try to have boundaries with schedules
Change the conversation around anger and look at what could be causing it, try to understand where they are coming from
The Core Principles of Anger Management Many people think anger management is only for people that are incarcerated or on probation or to satisfy a court mandate. And that’s not true.
Communication skills
Stress Management skills
Emotional Intelligence skills
These are all skills anyone can benefit from.
Primary and Secondary Emotions If you look at anger management as a pyramid, at the tip of the pyramid is anger and then there’s the primary emotion that comes before that. And then below that is the unmet need.
If you’re feeling angry it means you’re feeling something else and then there’s also a need for you that is not being met. And that is what’s causing that overreaction.
Techniques to Use When Feeling Anger Try to pause and understand what you’re feeling
Take a time out
Listen to the other person
Identify primary emotions
Communicate emotions
Accept responsibility
Focus on what you can control
Work on compromises
Launching the Curriculum If you have a big idea and you want to go beyond your practice, you have to start carving out time to work on these big ideas.
Schedule time every week to work on your big ideas
Write out all your content
Some Wise Words It’s okay if it’s not perfect, just put it out there.
It’s okay to fail, don’t be afraid to fail
Embrace your imperfections
You can’t do everything yourself, delegate your tasks
