“When emotions are so big, the quick fix is to be
violent, use drugs, be aggressive, escape . . . because those
feelings are dangerous. And for most of the guys they never learned
how to experience that.”
Wendy talks to Dr. Melissa Garber, a clinical
psychologist helping violent offenders in a special treatment unit
in New Zealand to prepare to re-enter society. They discuss
noticing and reacting differently to emotions and environments--and
how these challenges (and their solutions) are more universally
human than they first appear.
