Understanding and Managing Anger

Anger is a complex emotion that ranges from mild frustration to intense rage, and it can significantly impact our behavior and interactions. It can lead to both constructive outcomes, such as motivating action against injustice, or destructive behaviors, like substance abuse and harmful outbursts. Understanding the triggers of anger, including feelings of unfairness or blocked goals, is crucial in learning how to cope with it. The nuanced nature of anger suggests that our emotional responses are interconnected, often bouncing between anger and other feelings like sadness or guilt.
