Anger is a natural, normal, sometimes intense emotion that comes and goes. But if held onto, it can become insidious and cause harm — both to ourselves and to others.

Anger: Freeing Yourself from the Feedback Loop

February 19, 2020 by James Robbins, M.A., LPC

Have you ever woke from a dream angry? Even though the events that angered you were imaginary, it can take a while to shake this irrational feeling. Anger hijacks your nervous system. And once it takes over, it tries to keep feeding itself. It’s as if anger gets stored in your body, demanding that you… CONTINUE

Overcoming Guilt

August 31, 2017 by James Robbins, M.A., LPC

Your mother guilts you into attending a family function. Your boss guilts you into working late. What does it mean to be guilted into something?

Taking Responsibility for Anger

Taking Responsibility for Anger | Dallas Whole Life Counseling

What does an angry adult have in common with a teething baby? Both need something to chew on. Angry people imagine they get angry in response to their life experience. People disappoint, life takes unexpected turns. Suffering happens, and an angry person reacts, telling himself/herself that everything would be okay if only unpleasant or unfair things… CONTINUE

When Someone Mistreats You, How Do You Move On?

February 15, 2017 by Ruth Okeefe

by James Robbins, M.A., LPC Forgiveness doesn’t work. Neither does forgetting. Why? Because both assume you have been wronged, and that you’re doing someone else a favor by not punishing them for it. “I forgive you ” really means We both know you did something bad, but I am choosing not to give you the… CONTINUE

Do You Suffer from Time Traveling Disorder?

February 6, 2017 by Ruth Okeefe

by James Robbins, M.A., LPC Fear and anger are at the core of every negative human emotion, thought and behavior. Depression and anxiety.

Letting Go of Anger

January 15, 2017 by Ruth Okeefe

Letting go of anger - Featured

by James Robbins, M.A., LPC In and of itself, anger is neither good nor bad. It’s just an energy.

When you point… CONTINUE

The Five Core Emotions – But Where Is Guilt?

January 9, 2017 by Ruth Okeefe

by James Robbins, M.A., LPC Your brain “officially” recognizes five emotions: anger sadness joy fear disgust What about guilt? Guilt is suspiciously missing from this list because guilt is really anger in disguise. I often ask my clients: Who are you guilty at?
