Taming the Volcano

When making repeated promises to yourself and the best of intentions is not enough, Taming the Volcano picks up where sheer willpower fails. Each chapter describes how emotions, beliefs, and actions interact to drive seemingly uncontrollable, relationship-destructive behaviors while offering practical strategies to break the cycle of emotional escalations.

Scott Christie, Ph.D. describes the many influential origins of emotional reactivity (i.e., beliefs, trauma history, substance use, and habit formation) while offering ways to acknowledge and overcome their negative influences. When you learn to respond, rather than react to others, doors are opened to improve all your personal and professional relationships. ...and much more.

Whether you are curious about how others behave as they do or why you do what you do, Taming the Volcano offers a variety of ways to interject changes that will make escalations less inevitable.
