C7 Session 49 - What is Anger?

Key Questions

WHO does the word anger remind you of? 

WHAT does anger look like to you? 

WHERE can you feel safe expressing your anger?

WHY do you think we all were born with anger as one of our emotions?

WHEN you are angry what other emotions can you be feeling?

HOW often do you find yourself getting angry and how long do you stay angry?

Self-Reflection Points 

• Anger is like a “big brother" emotion. Anger steps in to protect or conceal some of the other emotions.

• In some cases, anger may have been the only emotion that was safe for you to express. It's protected you from harm so it became your frontline emotion.

• Has your anger ever been misplaced or misunderstood?  Maybe you are expressing it in an inappropriate way. Trauma often affects the way you express your anger.

• Living in or growing up in a hostile or unpredictable environment can also affect the way we express anger. We may react as if to attack/fear (fight/flight) mode whether there is a real threat approaching or not.

• Expressing too much anger too often can affect your health. Pay attention to your body when you get very angry and touch where it hurts and take deep breaths. Try to release the pain.
