When someone expresses themselves in an angry or threatening way, the first thing we do is act to protect ourselves.
\\nWe retreat and we close down.
\\nJust wait for things to be safe again.
\\nBut what if we do the opposite instead?
\\nIf instead of retreating in fear, we open ourselves to understanding the reason for this person's behavior, we very likely will learn that they are acting from a place of suffering and fear themselves.
\\nAnd once we understand this, we become able to open up further and try to relieve this fear and suffering.
\\nWhen we remove the reason for this person's anger and aggression, we remove the threat to our own well being.
\\nThis is how empathy and compassion work together to cultivate a deep level of well being and inner peace.
\\nWould you like to learn how to harness this power?
