Are you afraid of anger?
Many people, children, parents, teachers etc often have problems with anger, because we are afraid of anger. We are afraid of anger often because it can be out of control and violent. We tend to avoid angry people, especially if anger is expressed with violence because it’s scary and unsafe. Also we may feel others won’t like us if we get angry.
However on the flip side anger can be a very useful emotion, as it helps motivate us to take action and change what is not working. Anger can also help us protect ourselves. But the rub is we need to understand anger and learn how to express it appropriately in the moment, without being out of control; non violently with motivation; without fear; so anger can help us forge successful, real relationships with others and our selves.
Getting comfortable with anger is not about repressing and suppressing it, that only works in the short term, and we are not being congruent and true to ourselves. Repressing anger leads to a passive aggressive behaviour pattern which is particularly unhelpful in a different way. In terms of our health, explosive outbursts or being depressive can lead to health problems. Also behaving that way, interferes with our ability to develop long term healthy relationships.

Do you need to learn to express yourself positively and assertively, without physical and/or verbal violence?
If yes I can help you to realise and accept anger as a useful and helpful emotion: to learn a different way of being and thinking about your emotions: to safely express clearly, calmly, assertively what you have not been able to say. To be able to give yourself the time and space to access thinking, in order to make a choice, whether to fly into a rage or not: to have the choice to get your needs met in a more effective way.
