  4. Aging Angry - Making Peace with Rage

    Aging Angry - Making Peace with Rage

    I am joined by Amanda Barusch, a retired professor of social work and gerontology, who brings a wealth of personal and professional experience to our discussion. Amanda recently authored the compelling book, "Aging Angry, Making Peace with Rage." Fear of anger can ultimately be as destructive as expressed rage, fomenting social isolation, injustice, and misunderstanding. In rich and insightful prose, "Aging Angry" draws upon the experiences of hundreds of older adults and a wealth of literary and academic sources to empower readers with new understanding of anger’s sources, dynamics, and possibilities. Together, we explore the underlying causes of anger in older adults, from workplace ageism to family dynamics, and discuss how this anger can be understood and even channeled into positive change. We uncover the realities of aging beyond the stereotypes and learn how to make peace with rage. Hear invaluable insights and advice for anyone experiencing or witnessing the complexities of aging. Key Moments 00:00 Engaging Topic: Anger in Senior Care 05:58 "Aging Angry" 09:12 Pause for Thoughtful Response 12:35 Family Dynamics and Communication Challenges 15:22 "Rage as a Catalyst for Change" 18:01 Listening Fuels Positive Change 22:33 "Managing Anger in Restrictive Cultures" 25:51 Challenging Ageism Assumptions 27:03 Evaluating Attitudes in Elder Care Key Takeaways Practice the Pause: Reacting impulsively to anger often leads to regret. Taking a moment to pause allows for more thoughtful responses and channeling anger into positive change.Family Dynamics Matter: Interactions with family members are the most common source of anger among older adults. Finding ways to communicate effectively and respectfully can mitigate this.Anger as a Catalyst: Anger, even at its most intense, is a powerful motivator for change. Recognizing and managing it productively can lead to significant personal and social transformations.

    Dr. David Sofer and Understanding Arthritis Pain and Management

    "I teach people with arthritis to move differently, so they can overcome pain and get back to doing the things they love." My guest is Dr. David Sofer. And this is a quote from his website, www.arthritishelp.info. In our conversation, he states that being diagnosed with arthritis is not a call to the wheelchair and chronic pain. Yes, arthritis is a chronic condition possibly giving us chronic pain. But 50% of those diagnosed with arthritis will not feel the pain or discomfort of this disease. He teaches the principles of movement, which breaks down the fundamentals of how we move. That helps us understand how to live with arthritis. Dr. Dave talks more about posture as well. As he states in this interview, there is no such thing as good or bad posture. Your body tends toward what is comfortable for you, to get your body to balance over your bones. And finally, we talk about how patients are diagnosed with arthritis, and how it is wearing and irregularity in your joints. His website is full of free tutorials and videos to help you help yourself understand and manage the pain of arthritis. Dr. Dave developed his unique method for relieving arthritis pain by combining his decades of clinical practice as a physical therapist and his background as a champion gymnast and springboard diver. Refining this method over thousands of treatments for arthritis patients Dr. Dave inspires and empowers them to overcome their limitations and regain the ability to do the things they love. He has shown that everyone has the ability to improve no matter their age, diagnosis, or physical ability. With the right guidance, understanding, and commitment you have the ability to feel better.
