About this episode
Explores the effects of chronic anger on the brain and body, explaining that while anger is a normal emotion, persistent anger can keep the amygdala overactive and weaken connections in the prefrontal cortex, which impairs reasoning and emotional regulation.
It also describes how prolonged exposure to stress hormones like cortisol can damage the hippocampus, affecting memory and focus. Interestingly, anger can feel addictive because it triggers dopamine release, creating a reinforcing cycle.
Finally, the passage offers both short-term and long-term, science-based strategies to help manage anger, rewire the brain, and restore emotional balance.
