"Hi, I'm Brenda F. Dixon, I'm with Life Help Now and we're here today with Expert Village. We're talking about how to overcome anger. I've had people ask me in my practice, they would say things like, I work right next to somebody that is angry probably four out of five days a week. How do I handle that? Well, I want to remind you of some of the things I've already said. One of the things that you do is you maintain your total calm. That stability that goes along with you, that carries you, you carry it everyday. That stability, that quiet, that calm is what actually calms that other person down. If they start getting really negative on you, negative is one thing, but to begin to escalate and then have a red faced, hot tempered moment, just maintain your calm. It actually begins to change the other person. It's very important. You can say a few words like, I hate that, or I really wish that hadn't happened, or you can actually be composed in the words that you speak that are soothing. So, it is important to overcome anger by being composed in the way you present yourself around the angry person."

on 8/2/2008 the people who talk to you in your practice are probably causing people to be angry at them in the first place. like, lets take you for instance brenda, you make me angry because just knowing that someone like you somehow got a license and that you actually have people asking you for advice is corrosive. check my other comments as to why. no, forget that...anybody seeing these videos should know enough to disregard this bullshit.
