This concept challenges traditional medical approaches that focus solely on structural abnormalities. Dr. Orman shares how addressing underlying anger and emotional trauma can lead to significant pain relief, even in cases where conventional treatments have failed. [14:44] Three Invisible Filters That Cause Anger Dr. Orman reveals that anger is not a simple cause-and-effect reaction, but rather a process involving three invisible mental filters. These filters distort our perception of events and lead to anger: Believing someone did something bad or wrong that they shouldn't have done Thinking that you or someone else was negatively impacted or harmed Assuming the person who did the perceived wrong is entirely to blame Dr. Orman explains that these filters often oversimplify complex situations, leaving out important context and information. By recognizing these filters and questioning their validity, we can begin to dismantle our anger response. He emphasizes that in most cases of unwanted anger, at least one of these filters is inaccurate or exaggerated. [33:39] The Role of Humility in Overcoming Anger Dr. Orman explains that anger often stems from the ego's conviction of being right, and cultivating humility allows us to question our anger-inducing thoughts. In his coaching program, Dr. Orman first assesses a client's willingness to admit they might be wrong or have faulty life philosophies. He encourages listeners to approach their anger with curiosity and humility, considering if they might be misinterpreting situations or reacting based on incomplete information. By embracing humility, we can break free from rigid thinking patterns that fuel anger and develop a more balanced, compassionate outlook on life and relationships.
