The Nature of Anger

Many of us have some very definite ideas about anger. We see
anger as destructive and hurtful. We consider it to be an
inappropriate response. We equate anger with violence. In short,
we feel that anger is simply wrong, and that when we experience
anger, there's something wrong with us. Anger isn't nice. Anger
isn't polite. And anger certainly isn't our friend.

Anger can be all of these things. But anger is also useful,
necessary and even healing. We need our anger. We simply need to
learn how to express our anger in appropriate, conscious,
supportive ways. On its own, anger is neither good nor bad. It
can be used to hurt, or it can be used to heal. It may not be a
particularly pleasant emotion, but it's an important one. We can
all benefit from exploring the nature of anger.

Guy Williams, a friend of mine who also happens to be a minister
of Religious Science offers a tremendously insightful approach
for understanding anger. Guy says that anger arises from a
communication not delivered or an expectation not met. Anger is
actually a tertiary response: our initial responses are grief
and fear. First, we grieve the death of the expectation that was
not met. Next, we fear that things will never change. Finally,
we experience anger.

So few of us recognize that anger can be a positive, healing
response. When we allow ourselves to experience anger, it
focuses our minds, and strengthens our resolve. We discover
reserves of strength and power. Our anger is what gives us the
courage and the power to confront our fear that things will
never change, by creating change.

Let's consider an example. We expect that our boundaries will be
respected by others. When someone crosses a boundary, that
expectation has


not been met. The first thing we do is grieve
the death of the expectation that other people will respect our
boundaries. We feel unsafe because our boundary has been
violated. But we also experience fear. We're afraid that things
will never change: that our boundaries will not protect us
because other people will not honor them. Our anger, however, is
what allows us to change this. Our anger gives us the strength
to defend ourselves. Our anger gives us the power and the
courage to stand up and demand that our boundaries be respected.
Our anger, in fact, enables us to feel safe again. Expressing
our anger helps us to redefine and reinforce our boundaries. We
know we can defend ourselves, and therefore we feel safe.

When we don't express our anger in healthy, conscious ways, we
buy into the fear that things will never change. We feel unsafe.
More importantly, we expect that we will always feel unsafe.
Unexpressed anger inevitably turns to resentment and depression.

Anger is our call to awareness. Our anger encourages us to
become conscious of a limiting belief. The key to experiencing
anger in a healing way is to own our anger. We can then choose
how to express our anger. We do not need to lash out, nor do we
need to hurt anyone with our anger. Instead, we can choose to
alter our thinking, change the limiting belief, and reclaim
another piece of our true selves. When we embrace and understand
the true nature of anger, anger can empower us, and help us to
feel truly safe.
