When you look at an iceberg, on the surface you are only seeing a fraction of what is really going on underneath. Underneath is a jagged, complicated mass of problems. Much like a Child’s behaviour. What you see on the surface, is not a true reflection of what is really going on underneath.

It helps us to set our goals, wishes and wants for the future. When we are living life in a way that aligns with our values, we usually feel that life is good, and things are going to plan. What happens though if the things we are doing or the people that are close to us are not reflecting these values?

A lot of middle aged men are struggling. While they put on a brave face, they are secretly fighting with their own anxiety and stress.

To avoid the outburst in the first place, it is good to identify the triggers that cause us to erupt. Read Dave's advice and download our free Trigger Worksheet.
