Anger is a normal experience. Anger is a problem when it harms you, the people around you, or your relationships. Some people assume a defensive approach to the world and find themselves constantly angry. This response stresses the body and can lead to health problems, such as headaches, ulcers, and heart disease. Some people have learned to express their anger in violent ways.
Some people are afraid to express any form of anger.
These people tend to keep their anger and resentment bottled up. This results in increased tension and a failure to resolve the situation. They may experience a sense of revenge, but the problem is not directly confronted or resolved. Managing anger involves getting your anger reactions to work constructively for you, rather than against you. Be Aware of Your Anger Begin by recognizing when you are angry.
