When Anger Starts To Feel Out Of Control

Have you ever felt like your anger builds up until you cannot hold it in anymore?

You may feel frustrated by small things, become impatient more easily than you want to, or find yourself reacting strongly and wishing you could have handled the moment differently.

Maybe you are tired of feeling irritated, resentful, or like you are always carrying too much inside.

Anger is a powerful emotion. It often shows up when something feels unfair, painful, overwhelming, or when an important need has not been met.

Your brain has spent your whole life learning from your experiences. It remembers moments when you felt hurt, ignored, disrespected, or unable to express what you really needed.

Sometimes anger becomes your first line of defense and protection.

The frustration, irritation, and outbursts are typically overreacting, ignoring the reality of the situation. You’re just on auto-pilot trying to make things the way you need.

When we understand where the anger began, and what it has been trying to communicate, we can begin to release the emotions that have been building for so long.
