What is your relationship to anger?


For so long I was afraid of anger and was easily triggered when I felt someone was "yelling" at me or got upset. Anger is a natural, instinctive response to threats.


We might experience anger if we feel:

• attacked

• deceived

• frustrated

• invalidated or unfairly treated


And it can sometimes be useful:

• help us identify problems or things that are hurting us

• motivate us to create change, achieve our goals and move on

• help us stay safe and defend ourselves in dangerous situations by giving us a burst of energy as part of our fight or flight system


However, anger becomes a problem when we have trouble controlling it, causing us to say or do things we later regret.


You may have anger issues if:

• you feel angry often

• your anger is impacting your relationships

• your anger is hurting others

• your anger causes you to say or do things you regret

• you’re verbally or physically abusive

• your reaction is exaggerated to the situation

• you're passive aggressive


Lately, I've been helping my RESET 1-1 coaching clients identify what the core issue is around their anger. We then develop strategies to keep those triggers from tipping them over the edge.
