SOLVE PROBLEMS
Anger that's communicated in a back-and-forth
dialog...without ranting and raving...can help
us change situations that make us unhappy.
Anger is a natural part of relationships which
can encourage growth and intimacy.
HANDLE EMERGENCIES
Anger gives us an immediate burst of energy and
strength, so we can react quickly and perform
physical feats that would otherwise be impossible.
FAILING TO RECOGNIZE AND UNDERSTAND OUR ANGER
may lead to:
HEALTH PROBLEMS
These may include high blood pressure, heart
problems, headaches, stomach problems, skin
disorders, constipation, diarrhea, and obesity.
TENSION
Some experts believe that repressing anger
(holding it in because you don't know you're
angry) is the primary cause of anxiety.
ACCIDENTS
Repressed anger can make a person more likely
to have accidents.
INTERPERSONAL PROBLEMS
Anger that's not expressed can disrupt relationships,
especially if the angry person becomes hostile,
sarcastic, critical, etc.
