Okay... one of my triggers is constant talking. I process things slowly and I sometimes need to just not have someone talking at me to be able to breath and process. Doing the whole "ask yourself questions" thing also takes time. But my kid does not stop talking ever. I try to tell him, "i'm getting frustrated right now and I need a minute" but he just goes and goes and goes anyway. THAT is when the anger comes out because I have no room to process. Also, my kid hates everything we've tried when it comes to anger or sadness.basically only likes to be ignored until he's good and ready to pretend it never happened. he will not ever talk about it after he's calm. it's pretty hard to understand what someone else is feeling and connect with them when they hate to acknowledge any of their emotions except manic excitement.

My family has anger issues and when explaining everything to my psychiatrist, she suggested I could have complex PTSD, which definitely explains why loud, angry sounding voices are such a big trigger for me and why I absolutely hate getting angry at people and why I'm often perceived as a "pushover" to many.

Thank you for the great video

Thank you so much for making this video❤

I was taking my son first time to the private school and he was actually pretty excited at first. Then we were greeted by very mean lady who told us that we can’t come in and have to go this way and then that way, and then she told us that no parents are allowed and we immediately have to leave him. He immediately got scared of such unfriendly greetings. Lady had a dog and we tried to cheer him up and asked if he could pat her dog, and she said no. My son at that point already lost interest and made up his mind not to go there. He was screaming for long time and I couldn’t make him go anymore to that private school. I know he is sensitive but I felt also the lady was too mean and that what it made him had such terrible experience. I wonder why such people who don’t know how to even greet people properly are working with kids…such shame. Schools should have teachers with lots of patience and who just love kids and compassionate.

I find I am super sensitive as well, but then I celebrate my empathy tool :-)

Wonderful video. Thanks

Top notch thank you

Feeling like a hamster in a treadmill. Asking my kids to keep the same boundaries over and over again, politely explaining on good days, demanding on bad days, yet, so often it seems to no avail...

awesome this is a great video
