Hi it's DAve and thank you for joining me on the Altered Image Coaching blog.
I feel I must provide my apologies for my recent absence. For anyone who did not know I was taking a very much needed and (I hope) a well deserved break.
I have never visited so many grand homes in my life (and all the time I was thinking I really should be living in one of these places!) But Lady Luck has not yet seen fit to allow it and so I must remain ever hopeful.
So to get on to the business at hand - let us take a look at a collection of thoughts concerning "Anger", some of which are my own and others are from other people.
Anger - is something to be aware of!
It is an emotion characterized by antagonism toward someone or something that you feel has deliberately done you wrong.
That said though it is also true that "anger can be a good thing!"
It can give you a way to express negative feelings, for example, or it can motivate you to find solutions to problems.
But (a word of caution here) excessive anger can cause problems.
Anger is a natural reaction that we experience if we feel threatened or frustrated.
It is the first emotion that we experience and the last one that we learn to manage effectively.
Human infants begin to really display anger as early as 4 months old, and then as we get older we spend the rest of our lives denying it or suppressing it as a troublesome emotion.
There are believed to be 2 main types of anger:-
1. Destructive anger and 2. Healing anger
Destructive anger - this form of anger is expressed in an unhealthy way and causes harm.
For example, a person may act out aggressively towards others.
The anger might also be turned inward, resulting in deliberate self-harm or substance use!
Healing anger - this form of anger is expressed when it arises - at whoever triggers it and the issue that triggered it.
What is the real cause of anger?
Feelings of anger arise due to how we interpret and react to certain situations.
Everyone has their own triggers for what makes them angry, but some common ones include situations in which we feel threatened or attacked. frustrated or powerless.
So there we have a few pointer that may help you work with any feelings of anger you may have going forwards.
Hopefully you will have found these points both interesting and helpful.
