Anger

Anger is just an emotion. On its own it is neither good nor bad. However, what we do (or don't do) with our anger can be detrimental to our physical health, emotional state, relationships, and overall functioning.

  • Mismanagement of anger is linked to health problems such as:

- High blood pressure
- Insomnia
- Headaches
- Muscle pain
- Digestion and stomach problems
- Skin problems
- Anxiety and depression
- Addictions
- Hear attack
- Stroke

  • Mismanagement of anger can also be the cause of:

- Problems keeping a job
- Problems maintaining friendships
- Problems maintaining intimate relationships
- Domestic violence
- Road rage/ automobile accidents
- Legal problems
- Murder/ man slaughter/ suicide

  • Mismanagement of anger has two main expressions:

- Anger outbursts or explosions
- Ager suppression or bottling up
