A third option, to submit to the trauma also has brain chemistry implications. In some individuals, once the brain goes through this chemical ‘rewiring’ to survive the trauma, the wiring stays that way.ARTArticleBreaking the Curse of Eating Disorderby Dr. Tali Shenfield, Clinical Psychologist ARTArticleDealing with Child Anger and Aggressionby Dr. Tali Shenfield, Clinical Psychologist ARTArticleDealing with Difficult People in the WorkplaceI know you’ve selected this article, because you want a 1-2-3 step formula for dealing with the jerk down the hall or in the next cube to make them permanently go away and possibly even like you for it.

But when anger is frozen into cynical hostility or resentment, it robs us of our natural capacity to give and receive the love and social support that protect us from the emotional (chemical) surges that can contribute to heart disease.
