Anger is a powerful state. It is a very normal, often healthy, human emotion and most people have experienced it at some point during their life. As a child, we learn how to express this emotion in either a healthy or an unhealthy way.
When anger is mismanaged or out of control, we cause problems for ourselves and others. The consequence of unhealthy anger are many, including damaging our health, our relationships, causing problems at work with colleagues, domestic abuse and family disharmony, road rage, violence. Anger can negatively affect the overall quality of an individual’s life and often the lives of others around them.

Anger Can Be Frightening
Being at the wrong end of an angry individual can be quite frightening. Anger causes physical changes to occur in a flash such as increased heart rate and blood pressure; adrenalin is pumped through the body as the fight or flight response is turned on. Tension builds up like a pressure cooker and the individual will need to express this anger and let off steam or suppress the anger and keep it inside. Releasing this tension either verbally or physically is the usual response. Suppressed anger usually leads to a build up of unexpressed emotions causing the person to “explode” when something minor crosses their path. Like the last straw to break the camel’s back. Such an explosive outburst can be harmful to the individual and to those in the firing line. Sometimes people go too far and cause too much damage.

Causes of Anger
Anger has three components – thoughts, bodily reactions and expression.
Anger can be triggered in an instant or it can simmer away under the surface.
Some of the most common causes of anger include frustration, hurt, threats, annoyance, harassment and disappointment. Also physical causes like fatigue, hunger, hormonal conditions and sexual frustration.
Each person has their own tolerance level and react to situations in their own way.
