I don’t know if it’s really the oxygen. Anger management strategies include the deep breath thing and a few others that all seem to involve pausing to think of something else, like breathing. Maybe it’s just getting disengaged that does the trick.

Personally, I find it useful and informative to pay attention to what people say when they are distracted and hypoxic. For instance, an equipment rep recectly argued about giving a thorough inservice on a peice of equipment he delivered but after I perceived that his reasons for ‘making it short and sweet’ were flimsy and I persisted with logical responses to his claims and insisted on thorough inservice and follow up he relented and grudginly stated that that ‘wrecked his date with his fiance’.
Later I found out that he perceived that I yelled at him (for which he made a backside-saving complaint)which I can only attribute to his breathtakinly emotional response to being asked to complete his job. Had he not been hypoxic and blurted out grudgingly that I was wrecking his date with his fiance I might not have ever understood, finally, that his expectation for me as a female was that I would go all mushy and lose my spine and let him off the hook and ‘wing it’ with the equipment once I perceived the greater good I would be accomplishing by giving in to love’s promise………..

Recently my boss told me that ‘perception is reality’, so everyone is expected to present as benignly as possible so that we will be perceived well. That might make sense if everyone is breathing properly in the first place.
