Positive Strategies for Dealing with Difficult Emotions
Anger is a very natural response to hurt, frustration, bereavement, loss or threat. But is can also be a very damaging response, and unless we deal with it effectively the results can be highly destructive. We might take out our feelings on people we love, we may feel violent or we may turn our anger in upon ourselves - feeling regret, guilt, bitterness or even apathy. Because this is an emotion we often try to hide from ourselves as well as from others, we are often not aware quite how deep our anger runs.
'Managing Anger' explains:
- the effects of anger on our bodies and minds
- strategies for preventing the build-up of frustration
- how to deal assertively with problems of buried and misdirected anger
