Anger can be destructive and hurt relationships. In this episode, Jason explains how anger is a secondary emotion and what emotion is underneath it. 

He gives tips on how to manage our own anger and how you can mentor neurodiverse young people when they’re angry using a relationship building versus behavioral approach.
