How To Deal With Explosive Anger | The Mel Robbins Show

[@TheThreekeys]

Seems like PTSD. You feel cornered 24-7. Bless this man for pressing in to get healing!

[@dianabrown2258]

Steven is clearly upset by this, he's sorry and he wants to change, I'm glad he found Mel, all the best to them!

[@christine99]

Props to him for seeking help. It takes a lot for a man to admit they have a problem. Keep fighting the good fight.

[@jonwhitney9559]

Powerful show- with people clearly looking to make their lives better- I found myself connecting with Steven on a number of levels- and relating to what had happened to him. I will say , that at the end of the program - where people are hugging, seeing the Professional Therapist NOT hug Steven -and NOT talking with him - made me very angry with her. To me, it said, " I don't value what you have gone through, I don't value your coming here and I don't want to touch you. It said VOLUMES about this Mental Health Professional.

[@dannym631]

I've had trouble keeping a steady job because of my anger.

[@jmiller3579]

Peace be with you bro

[@PraveenSrJ01]

Same here but I rather not get into my situation due to privacy issues

[@hotkarenbritney]

I wanted to say that i have some bad anger myself but i will pray for you that you be free of this anger and i'm happy that you have a girlfriend that is supporting you, that is very good

[@donnellabuxton3709]

Chemotherapy can cause mental health issue, chemo can drain the brain! I total feel this family, the poor children not good for them either.

[@m_waaka]

There's nothing wrong with fighting .... Fight for PEACE Fight for HARMONY Fight for JOY Fight for LOVE Don't give up.

[@cherrysIushie]

Ok this doesn’t apply here ma’am

[@SAMEntalhealth]

Mine is clumsiness, I was a clumsy person growing up and now I'm fed up with being clumsy because I can't be trusted nor can I trust myself and now I feel I get explosive when I do the smallest mistake, but it has only to do strictly with dropping things or spilling things😢😢😢😢😢

[@summertime87]

There has to be a reason for explosive anger. I noticed my grandpa, my dad and myself have anger issues. My grandfather is deceased now though but i remember him having fits. We never hurt someone physically. Well i was a teen when i hurt someone but i am truly sorry for that. Im not like that anymore. But back to the fits. My grandpa would get mad at inanimate objects and cuss at them and yell. Me too ill cuss under my breath and yell. My dad too... I think it runs in the family

[@feliciachew7516]

I believe in him!

[@christinehaigh9807]

Wow....he has many episodes with extreme rage, she has to be his buffer to keep calm!....X has subjected me to his rage on a daily basis because there's always something setting him off, so, yes, I, too, had to be the buffer!

[@andycampbell8622]

Having adhd and ptsd looks a lot like this I wasn’t even raised with the tools to handle this

[@PraveenSrJ01]

I react really angrily and aggressively to being ostracized and I get thoughts of harming others but I never ever plan to act on those thoughts 💭. Unfortunately others won’t know that and might take drastic action and press charges.

[@johnnyblakeney1438]

I know what you are going through. I have severe PTSD from my past trauma when I was growing up. My sister and my brother went through. I'm 54 years old now. I've been in 4 different mental hospitals in 4 years. My last one was back in January this past year. I now something was wrong so I called my Dr and he put me back in the mental hospital. They diagnosed me with intermittent explosive disorder. I was just like you. Back in May of 2022 I trashed a motel room up. My choice was either jail or the mental hospital. I have the potential to really hurt someone. When I was in the mental hospital the 4th time. They put me on medication for it. My psychiatrist has had to increase my medication I take for it 3 times since January of this past year. I am divorced I have been for a long time. I realize know why my wife divorced me she was tired of the hell I put her through. I'm not telling you what to do. But sounds like to me you should be in a mental hospital. They do group therapy. The first time I was in I hated it. I stayed in the room and stared at the 4;walls and the ceiling. I even told the psychiatrist I was fucked in the head. I'm not telling you what to do. Trust me I've been there I know what you are going through. I don't want you to end up in jail for a long time. And you don't want to end your marriage end up with a divorced like me. I don't date or anything I live by myself. I hardly go out. When I do I still blow up just like you do. I come off a nice guy. But I'm not I really have the potential to hurt someone but I don't. Yes I still blow up but I'm getting better. Either you can take my advice or you can tell me to go to hell. You have the choice either get help or end up in jail for a long time, or your wife could very well leave you, wich I know you don't want that. You can contact me on here if you want to? Trust me man I know what you are going through, your not alone in this. Right now I'm at the Dr I'm seeing my psychiatrist wich I have to see every month because of the medication he puts me on. Since January of this year he's had to increase my medication for it 3 different times. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime. I wish we could meet up and chat in person. I have free time I can't work because I'm on disability, not because of that I have Parkinson's disease. So I'm home most of the time. Please get some help. If you want to vent reach out to me instead of your wife. You can chat with me anytime you want to. But please get some mental help before you hurt someone.

[@christianakolberg]

I have the same temper. This guy isn’t getting angry for no reason people are pushing him to that point. I go through the same thing. I feel like I have a big red target on my back and people won’t just leave me alone. And when I stand up for myself then I’m wrong for doing so.

[@LB-tw7gg]

I have a problem too not to this extent. I used to say it was everyone else but it’s my choice how I react to other people not theirs.

[@corwinjkabuki]

I got the same problem just keep yourself in a peaceful place

[@honeytherat2017]

Mmmmm intermittent explosive disorder?

[@kfarm9739]

0:34

[@PraveenSrJ01]

I definitely get very angry 😡 at my neighbors for ignoring me. I threatened my neighbors and yelled at them several times. I’m glad they didn’t press charges and have me arrested.

[@piyushakushwaha]

I relate with him and I can understand the situation

[@MistressHypnotistOfficial]

Okay, great content, but who buys DVDs in 2020??

[@jaybube478]

She’s really an angel

[@DirectorKiaraOxley2025]

This makes me sad that she married a man who is potentially dangerous to her and his kids, it's possible he had a head injury but i hope at some point she can break up with him because she might end up in the hospital or the grave. if i had a boyfriend who had anger issues i would file either a restraining order or move out of the state i'm living in immediately it would be a life or death situation if i was dealing with him, my brother is extremely violent like him and luckily he didn't end up in prison but there is a chance he might go there, but its very slim he doesn't call a crisis line for help, doesn't listen to people who try to help him it makes me mad that he is not smart like he used to be anymore. he suffers from ADD, And i hope after i move out he will no longer be a threat to me or my family. this is a sad episode. the only thing i can do is talk about what needs to be done in terms of being safe.

[@DxnnyFanta]

I lost my gf cause I couldn’t manage my emotions, it was the tipping point and I honestly want help I’m tired of losing people over my lack of self control

[@respecthewoman]

Maybe he should get into teaching self-defense. Its a form of feeling out of control, he has to take back his control. Mind over matter is true. And My God! Move from Alabama its a crappy racist state.

[@beverleyreid7572]

How can she resolve this serious problem in an episode? This guy has issues.

[@nancyhoward7005]

Every bit of help helps. God sends help from everywhere

[@ceejayking6763]

The cool couple they will work out

[@monicamiles4544]

Counciling on emotional regulation. And maybe lacking serotonin.

[@d1987reid]

I even get mad if I can't get my shoe on right, or something falls on the floor or if I drop something. Small things like this drive me crazy to where I want to just get violent.

[@christinehaigh9807]

I could never understand the sources of X's blowups it was very intense then but his anger is still very unsettling.

[@corwinjkabuki]

"Small man complex."

[@shannadearz8474]

Become a pro boxer!!

[@nancyhoward7005]

MOVE

[@jmiller3579]

his anger is a exaggeration of his masculinity. Doesn’t have to be that way. He can learn to be peaceful

[@engelasan]

Dump him pretty lady!

[@Reptiles.fossil.dinosaurs]

He’s mentally ill. That’s like saying dump someone because thier disabled or have cancer. Clearly you have 0 empathy and 0 compaction.

[@engelasan]

Agh no fuck! He CAN control it!

[@Creator-pd6zd]

Like attracts Like. There must be very deep anger/rage within her that she needs to deal with. Our mates are mirrors to ourselves, she's masking something.

[@christinehaigh9807]

He has a hair trigger temper....Ugh!

[@emilystevens6335]

He has JUSTIFIED ANGER. The dirty people who caused that anger will end up regretting it.

[@amywiger744]

Find 'some' kind of psych med!!

[@PraveenSrJ01]

Not sure if he was prescribed any Medication 💊

[@anntunaley9974]

He’ll turn on his wife and kids next

[@DirectorKiaraOxley2025]

I hope not, if he did then she would be definitely be dead, its hard to say this but i have a brother has outbursts and there is no cure because of his head injury. we don't know why men have this but it could be genetic why they have anger

[@nancyhoward7005]

MOVE OUT Of ALABAMA

[@PraveenSrJ01]

North Carolina is much better in terms of diversity and racism

[@steveymoon]

These American shows are hilarious. So cringy.
