Do you know anyone who had emotional and anger issues, but resolved them and changed their personality?

Me. I entered "fight mode" in a cptsd flashback and it made me fight for my life against my partner as if he was going to kill me. So I tore a table upside down I threw things I kicked him as soon as he tried coming near me. And it happened within seconds either him or me had any warning before I just bursted out on anger outlash.

We had to figure out both the warning signs to prevent it, and how to help deescalate the situation once the heat was on.

Once I started therapy I could finally get some serious advice and insights into this. Why it happens. What can prevent it and how.

2 solid years of hard work and now it's history with these out-lashes. Within CPTSD there's something called "window of tolerance" and the bigger window the bigger tolerance, my window is now three times the size it was.

If I get angry I know why and I can ground myself and differ from what's flashbacks and what's reality. I'm in no way cured but I'm honestly amazed how much better I got.

I did. What changed was being arrested once and losing my job another time because of it. I had to change my philosophy of life entirely. I had to realize that I need to focus on the bigger picture (someone cutting me off in traffic isnt worth a battle because I originally just wanted to accomplish some much greater tasks). I had to realize that I don't actually hate anyone, all disagreements are the result of misunderstandings and in other peoples shoes no matter whose they are I would act exactly the same way. I also had to realize that no decision can ever be made while angry and be trusted. It is not a state of being in which rational thought takes place.

These are all BIG ideas that can easily pass you by your whole life despite being told them. It is one of those situations where experiencing versus just being told are very different things.

My child's father did a lot of self work. He had some pretty scary anger issues 10-20 years ago.

Yes. After that dangerous person became safe to be around it was a different world for the rest of us. But it's not like he became a nice person.
In 1970 he was arrested for insane driving and investigated for beating up children. Reform began with him noticing that times had changed and he needed to be non aggressive, non violent to be liked. A narcissist can be like that.

Yes with therapy. They have to want the change, no one can convince them to do it…

I’ve always had emotional issues. They’re a lot better now that brick I start drinking.

my dad. he's better now but growing up he was pretty relentless.

Me. It wasn’t extreme anger issues but I’ve managed to get better.

I'm married to someone like this

It's gotten better

Honestly I kinda did
