Anger & irritability

When the fuse gets shorter than the situation deserves.

Cognitive Regulation perspective

CR maps the seconds before the reaction, finds the physiological pre-cursor, and rehearses an intervention that works before you're already gone.

Common signs

  • Reactions that feel bigger than the trigger.
  • Regret after most outbursts.
  • Family or colleagues walking on eggshells around you.
  • Physical tension, jaw clenching, sleep disturbance.

Anger is downstream

Anger usually protects an earlier feeling — hurt, fear, shame, helplessness. CR meets the earlier feeling so anger has less work to do.
