Dr. Tracey Marks explores the complex relationship between depression, childhood trauma, and anger in adults. This video sheds light on how childhood neglect can lead to intense anger later in life and offers insights into recognizing and managing these emotions. It also discusses practical self-help strategies, including acceptance and commitment therapy, for those seeking to heal from childhood trauma.
