This selection also addresses other mental, spiritual, physical, and
emotional barriers to changing one's angry or violent behavior into calm
responses.
Change begins when one becomes 'aware' and 'conscious' of personal decisions. As
options for responding increase, lasting relationships become more possible. The
tape, "How Change Happens" can help you begin to understand the barriers to
change and how to focus on alternative and more productive actions. For example,
people may not be aware that anger is a secondary emotion. This means
that when a person reacts in anger, the primary emotion (e.g. feeling
frustrated, unheard, disrespected etc...) is not communicated nor dealt with in
a productive way.
