Highlights:
• The text from Tommy’s mom that exposed how quickly frustration can surface
• Why anger is a part of you—not all of you
• How Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps men understand their reactions
• What anger is really after
• The link between frustration and how we parent
• What changes when you pause and get curious about your reaction
• Simple ways to quiet your “angry part” before it takes the wheel

Takeaways:

1. Stop trying to suppress anger—start understanding it.
2. You are not your anger.
3. The calmer you are inside, the calmer your world feels outside.
