Anger
Do you feel powerless in the face of your anger? Terrifying to behold in others and overwhelming when it erupts in ourselves. Road rage, plane rage – even art-gallery rage – are becoming all too familiar terms. These are just some forms that over-the-top anger can take in modern-day life. Excessive anger can have an obvious trigger or may seem to jump out of the blue. Unpredictable and precarious. As work and relationships suffer, a lack of steady temperament can ruin lives.
Sometimes, it creeps up on you without you even noticing, building up momentum like a pressure cooker. This rapid escalation can badly affect your physical and mental health. After the initial discharge of frustration, you are left to repair and patch-up the fall-out from exhausting and emotionalan experience – it’s a miserable, empty and (often guilt-ridden) feeling to reconcile. However, this needn’t be the case. Indeed, there’s much we can do to regain composure and return your responses to a place of control.
