Anger: What Is It?
1. Anger is a reaction to an inner emotion and not a planned action.
2. Anger is easier to show: everyone gets angry.
3. The feelings underlying the anger reaction make us feel vulnerable and weak; anger makes us feel, at least momentarily, strong and in control.
4. Angry behaviors are learned over the life-span and therefore can be unlearned and replaced with healthier patterns of coping.
5. Anger can be an immediate reaction to an isolated event or it can be a response after numerous events.
6. To repress anger is unhealthy and yet to express it impulsively, as we so often do, may give momentary relief but inevitably will carry negative consequences.
