The Seduction of the Relationship Dragon – Wounded Anger

by Dr. Brian Hooper

In her song, I Just Wanna Be Mad, Terri Clark has this chorus: I'll never leave I'll never stray My love for you will never change But I ain't ready to make up We'll get around to that I think I'm right I think you're wrong I'll probably give in before long Please don't make me smile I just wanna be mad for a while That’s what it often feels like when a couple comes to see me with conflict in their relationship. They want to hold on to the relationship AND they each want to hold on to their anger. Their anger, when it holds on to them is the Relationship Dragon!
