men-and-codependency

The ManAlive program teaches how the __ngry man_ is more often a response to experiencing a threat to their __mage,_ which triggers a fight or flight response. When the sympathetic nervous system gets triggered _ breathing is more rapid, heart rate increases, blood pressure goes up _ men call this stimulated response __nger._ In fact, anger is more often a response to injustice. What these men are experiencing is not anger but an arousal state. This is key information for men to have because, as they learn to interrupt this hyperarousal, they have more oppor-tunity to connect with what they may actually be feeling.
