Anger is one of our basic emotions, like love, liking, and fear. It is an emotion felt when an individual is faced with a situation of frustration, is subjected to an attack, is hurt, deprived, or perceives a threat. It manifests itself through reactions toward an individual or an object. Since the way these reactions are expressed is usually negative, anger is defined as a negative emotion, and even a very dangerous emotional state.
If anger is felt very often (almost every day), very intensely, if it results in inappropriate behavior, if it causes problems in school, work, and personal relationships, then anger is a problem. Dealing with anger requires recognizing it, not suppressing and hiding it. When individuals recognize their anger, they can escape the harm of anger and express it in a constructive way for themselves.
Ways to cope with anger in a healthy way include relaxation, diaphragmatic breathing, learning stress coping skills, changing thoughts, problem solving, developing communication skills, using humor, and changing the environment.
