February 16, 2007, Newsletter Issue #170: Using Language

Tip of the Week

Language is often the key to controlling anger. Because language is centered in the frontal cortex of the brain and emotions are centered in the middle part of the brain, called the limibic system, language helps move us from the emotion part of our brain to the thinking part of our brain. The old saying of "When angry, remember to count to 10 first before acting" actually has merit. Young children do this naturally if you watch them at play. They talk out loud to themselves often as they work through frustrating and difficult situations.
