So, I learned anger was a dangerous thing. My dad was a spewer-I mean, scary spewer, at times-before he came to Christ. We have our major face, and some of us can do a couple-Ĭhip: You know, I hate to admit this. I’m going to come around the back door and see if I can pay you back in ways that, if you catch me, I’ll say, ‘Oh, I was just kidding.’”ĭennis: So, as we look around the table here, let’s just do a little poll because everybody has their tendency right?Ĭhip: Right. We’re sarcastic: “If you hurt me, I’m going to take that on a safer playing field.

I should never be angry.” So, they often struggle with depression and have a lot of physiological issues because, when we stuff anger, it’s very unhealthy.Ĭhip: And, finally, leakers are what psychologists call passive-aggressive.

They believe, like Bob was saying, that anger is a sin: “It’s wrong. They intimidate and, often, feel very bad and guilty later-some of them don’t. Some people spew it out, and we know who they are. People deal with it in about three different ways. Every single day there are multiple, multiple circumstances that evoke this response of anger. Everybody gets angry-whether it’s that there’s not enough toilet paper, or the guy is going too slowly, or someone walks out on you, or someone you love dies. What do the spewers, the stuffers, and-what was the last one?ĭennis: The leakers! What do they have in common?Ĭhip: What they have in common is that those are the three faces of anger. Well, Chip has written a book called Overcoming Emotions that Destroy. Is that right?ĭennis: Yes, we’ve been compared to the “Car Talk” guys. I think it is going to be a lot of fun.īob: You haven’t done “Car Talk”in quite a while, I guess. ĭennis: You’ve not seen one start like that in a while!Ĭhip: I never really have.

I’m wondering, right now, if there’s hope for me! I’ve not been on a program quite like this. I think there’s hope for everyone, and that means there’s hope for Bob. Do you think there’s any hope for Bob, Chip? You’ve been here a few times.Ĭhip: I think there is. We’re going to have somebody here-Ĭhip Ingram joins us on FamilyLife Today. You go ahead.ĭennis: Now, Bob! How often do I-I try to respect your-ĭennis: You just need to get over your anger. Dennis: I’m going to ask our guest on today’s program, Chip Ingram-īob: I’ll be here if you need me for anything, but I’ll just be sitting over here.
