Support Groups TBI Glossary Anger Inventory Anger is a very basic human emotion that plays an important role in the way we communicate with others. Healthy anger is the legitimate response to injustice, abuse, and loss.
Destructive anger is driven by feelings of inadequacy, and frustration.
It seeks to dominate and control. Its goal is to shift the balance of power. Feelings of anger and alienation are common after brain injury. Some of that is due to the way that the injured brain functions. Another part has to do with the injured person's reactions to the deficits caused by the brain damage.
