The Benefits of Healthy Anger

  
• Anger spurs us on to greater achievements like working harder to build a business or succeed in sports.  
• Anger immediately tells us when something is wrong and needs to be addressed such as being passed over for a promotion.  
• Anger keeps us vigilant and alert during stressful situations such as ensuring quality home care for an elderly parent or family member.  
• Anger helps us establish personal boundaries that prevent others from taking advantage of us.  
 
     
     
 
 

When Anger Becomes a Problem

  
• Does the physical and mental intensity of anger confuse, embarrass or scare you?  
• Have you been called a "hot head" or told you have a "hair trigger temper"?  
• Do you ever feel "out of control" when angry?  
• When angered, do you want to lash out and hurt that person or whoever is closest in proximity to you?  
• If cut off in traffic, do you drive dangerously to make the other driver scared of you?  
• If insulted, jilted or in a verbal disagreement with someone, do you not feel anger?  
 
     
     
 
 

Masking the Pain of Mismanaged Anger

  
When anger becomes a problem, it's easy to try to numb the pain or fear with drugs or alcohol. But instead of solving the problem, things only get worse.
