    My anger stems from my impatience, so imagine my anger when watching an 11 minute long video hoping to find a technique on how to not be so angry and I get through the whole video with no answers and in the last 30 seconds she says “have empathy.” OH BOY WAS THAT HELPFUL

    I notice when people are coming out of depression they often get very angry. The best thing to do is be a good listener and let them vent. Or when they are confronting a terrible illness and grieve that loss of health. Depression and anger is all part of the acceptance process. Thank you for this awesome video, Dr. Marks.

    I have had anger issues since a child & I’m not denying some of this. I needed this. Thank you 🙏🏽

    Hate. I hate how my family mistreats me
  • @idrkok
    It’s so crazy that I came across this video because I’m actually dealing with a very similar situation to your hypothetical. My mom never paid attention to me as a child because I was responsible, and both of my siblings were needy. I helped raise my siblings and never complained. I now have growing resentment towards my mother because my emotional needs were never met, and she doesn’t even know. Time to go to therapy. Thank you for making this video!

    Yes more on anger please. I am so tired of being mad at just about everything in my life. I don't want or mean to hurt the people around me but I just can not control my anger more often than not. I think my biggest problem is my total hatred for just about every other human I come in contact with and I just can't seem to shake it.
  • @Vanessa-iq3vt
    Damn that example is my family in a nutshell as the first born 😡…i can confirm that deepest emotion is true.
  • @oneNation99508

    Hi Tracey, I'm a veterinarian who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder type II in 2020. I have found your videos extremely helpful, and I always tell people I want to be the Dr. Tracey Marks of veterinary medicine. You're a role model to me and so many others. Keep doing what you're doing! It would be such a pleasure to collaborate with you someday. Take care :)

    "It's really my parents who cause the hurt." That is true for 99.9% of the issues that humans struggle with. Humans make terrible parents.
  • You are so good at what you do. The layers of the iceberg. Wow. I want to use this in every conflict, remembering there’s always more below the surface.
  • @zhappy44
    This video couldn’t have come at a more perfect time, thank you Dr.Marks!!
  • @JennyGaston
    Another great video👏🏾. Anger is a smoke signal that something needs to be addressed. Many times we struggle with communicating our needs and feelings but taking small steps to be honest and assertive makes a huge difference ❤️
  • This is exactly what happened with me and my parents. Small situation, I blew up, I was asked to be the bigger person, got even more upset and it’s about 3 months I have no said a word to my dad. I’m still pretty upset about the situation but I’m also getting counseling for it. Was diagnosed with severe depression and uncovering things from my past made me see things I did not know was there and I fear that maybe it was more rocky than I remember. I’m getting the help but I do appreciate your perspective and knowledge in these subjects.
  • @tayzonday
    I’m listening to your book on Audible right now and it’s trippy to pause it to watch a new upload 😆😳
  • @dsmith1228
    As always, Dr. Marks, you hit a home run when explaining mental health topics! I frequently send my therapy clients to your channel for more information on issues they come into counselling with. You have the ability to distill your content in an organized and relatable fashion. Anger is always better understood by looking beyond the visible surface. The iceberg illustration is a great way to help people understand that we often bury pain and hurt very deep in order to distance ourselves from our true feelings. Anger pops to the surface, but it is kept afloat by something much deeper.

    Dude. This is the perfect example of TOXIC POSITIVITY. great video , but this is exactly how positivity hurts people and I hate it. The parents and the women that borrowed the money I’m story just gaslighted the main character like it’s not even a big deal that money , a lot of money, was borrowed . Thank for the video. We need more videos on toxic positivity lol
  • @popeye1897
    Dr. Marks this video has uploaded in a time that an incident of anger made me lose my job and you helped me realise that the problem was deeper than I thought. I watched many of your videos so far and I want to express my gratitude for your clear and concise way to present mental health issues to a broader audience. I would be happy to watch more videos about generalized anxiety disorder and anger issues.
