A new and improved Chris Brown has thrown his support behind the wife of disgraced NFL star Ray Rice this week, offering the pair advice on how to work through the drama they now find themselves faced with.

His take on the matter after going through a similar situation with singer in Rihanna in 2009?

Wise words from the ‘Loyal’ star below…

Speaking to MTV, Brown shared:

With me, I deal with a lot of anger issues from my past— not knowing how to express myself verbally and at the same time not knowing how to cope with my emotions and deal with them and understand what they are.”

I think help is great. I still talk to my therapist twice a week, and it helps me to…if I’m frustrated and I’m dealing with something, to vent and say what I’m going through so I can hear from an actual clinical person, ‘this is how you should react,’ or ‘it’s good to feel this way because feelings, emotions, and energy are supposed to come and go.’ It’s not supposed to stay there, you’re not supposed to keep it inside, because it’ll bottle up and you’ll become a monster.

To Ray, or anybody else—because I’m not better than the next man—I can just say I’ve been down that road. I deal with situations and I’ve made my mistakes too, but it’s all about how you push forward and how you control yourself.
