What is anger?
Anger is a normal, healthy emotion that usually arises in response to a perceived threat, insult, or injustice. Recognizing the gap between expectations and experiences (current situation) can help manage anger. This gap often triggers frustration when reality doesn’t meet our hopes and desires. It is crucial to recognize that the root cause of anger is internal rather than external. Often anger stems from unprocessed emotions from childhood leading to adult emotions that are disproportionate or inappropriate to the situation.
Healthy vs. Unhealthy Anger:
Healthy Anger: Motivates action against injustices such as poverty, and inequality.
Unhealthy Anger: Manifests through destructive outbursts or suppression, causing personal stress, anxiety, and even physical health problems including high blood pressure.

Healthy Boundaries: Establish healthy boundaries to protect your emotional well-being and prevent resentment from building up. Learn to say no when necessary and prioritize self-care to honor your needs and values.
