SHOW DESCRIPTION: Let’s face it, we all argue, so we may as well learn how to argue well, and learn how to turn arguments into experiences that improve, not harm, mental health & relationships! In this podcast I discuss the best ways to manage arguments and intense emotions like frustration and anger, based on my personal and professional experience, and I walk you through how to use my 5 step Neurocycle for dealing with arguments.
