Creative Stress Management

Anger is a normal human emotion. It is powerful. Anger can be a power for good, as demonstrated by Jesus, Ghandi, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Anger can be a power for bad, as demonstrated in domestic violence, child abuse, violence in the workplace,  etc.

Management of anger is important to a civil society. It is important to be able to acknowledge anger and to express it in a constructive way.

This is a sculpture outside St. Thomas Hospital in London, UK. That's Big Ben in the skyline. I liked this so much - the reaching out and holding on. Beautiful.

Anger between couples:

Couples who have a solid bond are able to express a wide range of emotions - including anger - without causing damage to the relationship.

How does that happen? I believe it happens because there is trust - trust that the partner cares about the feelings of the other, and belief that the partner is committed to harmony and happiness - therefore - open to change.

Anger at work:

Sometimes people bring anger to work and then home again. It can become toxic and interfere with career plans, not to mention ones physical and mental health.

Understanding anger and its many facets is a worthy effort. It can help improve relationships at  home, at work, in sports, and even within oneself.
