Unresolved anger is a block to our emotional growth. Anger is a sign that we must take an assertive stance to tune into how we are feeling and why we are feeling that way. Anger is directly related to our thoughts. If we have angry thoughts we will become angry. However, if we don't have angry thoughts, we won't become angry.
Depression is anger that has been suppressed.
Aggressive anger, which is verbal or physical, only intensifies one's anger once it begins to be expressed. Catharsis of anger, which is the ventilation of anger, usually leads to an increase in anger, and the expression of the anger usually intensifies. Anger is usually related to me and my reaction to something or someone. Anger can be turned into a source of strength to change my ways of acting and reacting to situations, events, or people. Ventilating anger directly on people is aggressive behavior and typically benefits no one.
