Our anger is a complex emotion, and one that can derail us completely if not closely managed. Anger can rear its head any time we suffer a slight or setback, resulting in irritation, annoyance and even self-pity or envy. When we’re angry, we either fill the room with dominance or implode with anxiety and avoidance. Anger is a multi-dimensional emotion and learning how to master it takes a lot of self-reflecting.

Generally, feelings of rage or anger manifest on two planes: the emotional plane and the physiological plane. Getting control of our anger comes down to learning to face our issues coming to an understanding with ourselves that’s founded on respect and understanding.
