Understanding Toxic vs. Healthy Anger

Toxic anger can lead to significant health issues, including cancer, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders, particularly among women. This form of anger often results in ruined relationships, a loss of trust, and low self-esteem, as individuals may feel guilt or self-hatred following outbursts. In contrast, healthy anger is a constructive response to real threats and can motivate problem-solving actions. It also serves as a creative force, inspiring artists and creators to channel their emotional experiences into their work.
