The Cool-Down Period

Do not try to repair while adrenaline is still coursing through your body — you will only reignite it. After yelling, your nervous system needs roughly five to twenty minutes to drop back to baseline.

While you cool down, resist the urge to justify the yell. Thoughts like "well, they had it coming" are your brain protecting you from guilt. You do not have to believe them — just let them pass without acting on them.
