Ep 381 Yelling at Your Kids ft. Chris Wilson
Episode description
As someone who struggles with a quick temper and anger, this episode was very personal for coach Chris.
While we tend to be on our best behavior in public and at work, often when at home with the people we love the most, we can resort to explosive anger, yelling, cursing, and using harsh, hurtful words.
Basically, our most cherished people in the world, our children and spouses, see us at our worst.
In this solo podcast, host Chris Wilson reveals where his deep seeded anger and yelling behavior comes from. He talks about his father’s lifelong alcoholism and violence, the closeness of his mother and brothers and what he is attempting to do to overcome this unwanted, destructive behavior.
"I want to get to the point that over-reaction doesn't happen at all... I'm not yelling, I'm not loud or irate." — Chris Wilson
