I'm Joe Rhinewine, PhD, psychologist and director of Portland Mindfulness Therapy. In this video, well, I'm angry. And rather than yell or scream, I use this angry energy to teach about how anger is viewed from the perspective of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Specifically, anger can be viewed as the outcome of "fusion" with a thought. The thought is typically extreme and "black-and-white" or dichotomous, and is formed in the context of a state of perceived threat typically. Such states of perceived threat are part-in-parcel of what radical behaviorists call "behavior under aversive stimulus control," meaning that the behavior is motivated or cued more by some kind of threat rather than by some kind of reward or appetitively relevant stimulus. Anyhow, the indicated skill to respond to anger when we don't really want to act on it, is "defusion," or distancing the thought, questioning it, being skeptical of it.
