Anger

Anger and fear are natural emotions that are generated when the mind senses a threat. The fear generated is part of the flight response from the physiology. Anger is an emotional energy that is generated for the perceived threat. What can be confusing is that the mind creates fear and anger even when the threat is just imagined.

Emotions like anger are natural and real. Even if the threat is imagined the anger created is just as real and as powerful. Mild anger can be expressed as annoyance or irritation but for some, anger can get out of control and cause problems with social and personal relationships.

Recognising you have a problem and seeking help is a very positive first step. Counselling can help you identify the causes of the anger so that you can understand and work through them. Working around the belief knowledge is power, arming yourself with the knowledge about your anger can give you the power to recognise it and control how you feel in any given circumstance.
