Respect and Understand

Anger is a universal, core human emotion (Ekman). Brain scan images are now suggesting a link between anger and the area of the brain our values stem from (Lambert, et al.). When teased apart and experienced as separate from anxiety and unhelpful ways of managing that anxiety, anger can let us know when our boundaries and sense of fairness are being violated and provide the necessary forceful response to take protective and assertive action. Anger can let us know we are not comfortable with what is happening and ground us in our physical bodies, our felt sense of things, and animate our sense of self with vitality and confidence. Thus, anger is something we need not to manage, but listen to, respect, and understand.
