Absolutely fantastic! I watched this video because I'm developing a game, and I want to reduce the amount of players quitting from anger. Even if this was for therapeutic/personal purposes, this gave me plenty of information to note down and summarise. *Huge thanks.*
A couple of questions: 1. Usually anger is explained as a reaction to threats and therefore a defense mechanism. - So, what happens if not expressing then anger and if not suppressing it either? - Will then the feelings of sorrow and sadness come out to surface, instead? - Is the feeling of sadness placed behinde anger? - If so, can it happen then that the feeling of sadness to be experienced as a threat if released...? - Why is it so difficult to express sadness...? 2. How does anger develop to passive aggressiveness, or is it something else that does? - Is there a video you have on passive aggressiveness? Thank you!
As explained in the video, anger and fear are both reactions to threat. (anger - the threat is manageable; fear - the threat is unmanageable). Sorrow/sadness/depression is a response to loss. Since all of these are related to needs (need for food, shelter, significance, love, etc.) when you suppress an emotion, you are suppressing your awareness of a need. When you suppress your awareness of a need (usually because it is unacceptable to you for some reason) it will tend to trigger irrational behavior or inappropriate emotions that will vary from person to person depending on his or her unique personality and childhood experiences. Passive aggressiveness is one possibility. The next three videos explore these ideas.
