Quotes by Russell Kolts (?)

“Anger and other threat-related emotions shape our attention to focus on information that reinforces the feeling of being threatened, so we tend to overlook information that is inconsistent with this state of mind. In this state, your brain is biased toward being angry.”
― Russell Kolts, The Compassionate-Mind Guide to Managing Your Anger: Using Compassion-Focused Therapy to Calm Your Rage and Heal Your Relationships

“When our threat system quickly narrows our attention, our thoughts follow. This is one of the reasons we can feel trapped by our anger, why we may make decisions that don鈥檛 seem to make sense when we examine them later. We tend to lose perspective when our threat system takes over. It becomes difficult to think flexibly and to gather information that isn鈥檛 directly related to the perceived threat.”

“There are other problems with how we reason when we鈥檙e angry. Research has revealed that, compared to other threat emotions like sadness or anxiety, anger is linked with a feeling of certainty.9 When we鈥檙e angry, we tend to feel very certain of the thoughts that we鈥檙e having, even if those thoughts are unrelated to what we鈥檙e angry about, and even if they are dead wrong. In fact, we may even be more likely to be wrong when we鈥檙e angry. Research shows that the certainty of anger is linked with processing information more superficially10鈥攚e think less carefully when making our judgments”
