Professor Brad Busman, expert on anger and aggression, was recently featured on the Good People podcast. 

The episode, “What You Need to Know About Anger and Aggression” discussed why we get angry, common ways anger manifests in our world today, common myths about anger, why blowing off steam is a bad idea, and more. 

“The largest misconception is that it’s healthy to vent anger,” Bushman said on the podcast. He continued that “anything that decreases arousal is effective at decreasing anger and aggression.”

Bushman also offered a number of different tips for decreasing anger and aggression, including deep breathing, the four seven eight technique, muscle relaxation and meditation.
