Thank you for your EXCELLENT knowledge in developing ways to lessen one’s tendencies to experience sudden, unexpected bouts uncontrolled anger! Since my brain tumor surgery, I have noticed an uptick in these behaviors which is highly unusual compared to my previous, highly compatible and agreeable manner.
