About this video

Why am I so angry over little things, and why does it seem to come out of nowhere? If anger management has never actually worked for you, this video shows you the fear hiding underneath your anger and how to release it instead of suppressing it.

Relationship and childhood trauma recovery specialist Kenny Weiss explains why you get so angry over small things, why deep breathing and counting to ten can make anger worse, and what repressed and suppressed anger are really hiding. It speaks to the high functioning adult whose rage seems to come out of nowhere, and to the suppressor who never raises their voice while their body quietly breaks down.

Kenny teaches that anger is a secondary cover emotion sitting on top of fear, and the fear is always one of three, rejection, inadequacy, or powerlessness, what he calls the R.I.P. model. Beneath that fear is unfelt childhood sadness. He ties the pattern to the Worst Day Cycle™, shows why suppression drives rage into the body, and gives a release based path using the Emotional Authenticity Method™ and the Rage Letter, not management.

Anger is a secondary emotion that covers one of three fears, rejection, inadequacy, or powerlessness, and beneath that fear is unfelt childhood sadness. Anger is a bodyguard standing in front of a far more vulnerable feeling.

Anger management techniques like deep breathing and counting to ten can make anger worse because they suppress the feeling instead of releasing it. The pressure does not disappear, it is driven down into the body.

Suppressed anger is linked to chronic illness. Dr. Vincent Felitti's research on adverse childhood experiences connects unprocessed rage and pain to migraines, autoimmune conditions, chronic pain, and weight that resists dieting.
