Anger
Understanding the Fire Before It Burns
Anger is a natural emotion — it can protect, motivate, and defend. But when anger starts to take control, hurting relationships, careers, or your own peace of mind, it may be time to step back and understand what’s underneath the surface.
Unchecked anger can show up in different ways:
- Frequent irritability or short temper
- Verbal outbursts or shouting
- Physical aggression or destruction of property
- Withdrawing emotionally or becoming passive-aggressive
- Feeling overwhelmed or “on edge” constantly
- Trouble calming down once angry
- Regret or guilt after explosive episodes
- Strained relationships at home or work
- Feeling misunderstood, disrespected, or always “on the defense”
Behind anger, there is often pain — past hurt, stress, trauma, or unmet needs. Anger itself isn’t the enemy; it’s a signal. Learning to listen to it, rather than react to it, is the first step toward change.
