Anger. I want to talk about such an emotion as anger. Anger, like any other emotion, is the result of some unsatisfied need. In most cases, anger is ENERGY that is released in response to the violation of personal boundaries or to overcome any obstacle in achieving a goal. This emotion is taboo for most people, and is often socially disapproved. But it is important to distinguish “hostility” from “anger.” People often confuse these concepts and therefore this emotion can be scary. But in fact, most volitional actions are driven by anger. Only we don't think about it and shy away from this emotion. I often ask my clients how they could express anger? And I hear the following answers: Do I need to scream all the time? Or knock on the table? Or break dishes? And then they add: they will consider me inadequate, but I don’t want that. Yes, such ways of expressing anger, unfortunately, do exist, but they are destructive and not environmentally friendly. Another common phenomenon of dealing with anger is suppression. In this case, the person directs the process towards himself. This is expressed in criticism and accusations of oneself, self-harm, etc. Which is fraught with the appearance of various diseases on the physical level. You may ask, how then can you express anger in an environmentally friendly way? Very simple. Say to your opponent: “I’m angry.” These two words will be enough. Many people recommend using third-party objects to express anger: hitting a pillow, screaming, drawing your anger, etc. These methods help you direct your energy somewhere in the moment and get physical release. But if, after beating the pillow, a person did not realize his true need and did not satisfy it, then anger will also manifest itself in this situation. Therefore, it is important to learn to track what need is behind this anger, and how can I satisfy this need? Then there is a possibility that anger will not arise with a similar person and in a similar situation. Do you use your anger for good??
