Listen to Dr. Ray and Jean discuss ANGER WITHIN RELATIONSHIPS:

Because anger is a very common emotion it's more than likely going to come up in your relationship. It's sort of like the check engine light in your car. It's an indicator. It's a secondary emotion, which means something else is going on underneath the hood. When anger happens for us it's a sign we are out of balance. Most of the time it comes up as my partner is the one out balance, not as you being out of balance. Anger works as a protective measure. We don't want to feel this vulnerable primary emotion. And so anger comes in to protect us from that. And typically it is going to respond by either fighting, running or freezing. That's really the three responses when we are faced with a threat. And so it doesn't really help us navigate the real problem. It just indicates that there is a real problem. Its important to realize that this is touching something inside of you that is painful, or coming up for healing or out of balance, or maybe a boundary that you've set, that you've let people violate, whatever it is, it's something very important, and it's a great opportunity for healing and for renegotiating things in your relationship.

It's a natural response for us to be angry at someone who we think or feel and perceive that they are a threat. They're trying to hurt us in some way. How do you regulate your emotions, your anxiety and your anger so that you can find that balance in your brain between your prefrontal cortex of logic and reason and problem solving and taking responsibility and balance that with that hindbrain that's in fear and feels defensive and attacked.

Anger can become quite an addiction. It can be a very dysfunctional cycle within a relationship where couples get really mangled up in their own anger, and they stew in it. And once they get into that place, it's really hard to get out of it.

At the Lighthouse, we believe in the transformative power of couples counseling, especially in light of the parallels drawn between the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and detrimental communication styles within relationships. Just as the Four Horsemen symbolize conquest, war, hunger, and death in the context of the end times, they also serve as metaphors for communication patterns that can signal the demise of a relationship.

Research by John and Julie Gottman shows how criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling can erode a partnership's foundation, resulting in feelings of disconnection. Although the apocalypse represents an end, it can also be a chance for renewal and growth.

At the Lighthouse, we provide a safe and supportive environment for couples to identify and address unhealthy communication patterns. Our therapists guide couples through this transformative journey, teaching healthy communication techniques to rebuild trust, strengthen bonds, and cultivate more fulfilling relationships. Call or email our office to schedule a session or learn more about our couples counseling program, Couples Synergy.

The Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz is one of our favorite books at The Lighthouse! In The Four Agreements, don Miguel Ruiz reveals the origins of the self-limiting beliefs that deny us of happiness and cause needless suffering. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, The Four Agreements provides a strong code of conduct that has the ability to change our lives and give us a fresh perspective on freedom, happiness, and love. Every action we take is motivated by a commitment we have made—to life, to other people, and to ourselves. However, the agreements we make with ourselves are the most important.

What agreements have you made?
