Anger is a natural and important emotion that serves a purpose in our lives. It can motivate us to assert ourselves and protect our boundaries, and it can help us express our feelings and communicate our needs to others. However, when anger is excessive or uncontrolled it can become destructive and interfere with our well-being.

Anger is often the result of unresolved conflicts from early experiences in our lives, particularly related to attachment and separation issues. These unresolved conflicts can lead to feelings of helplessness, powerlessness, and frustration, which can then manifest as anger in response to perceived threats or injustices.

Together, we can recognize and work through the underlying feelings and experiences that contribute to your anger. This may involve exploring and processing difficult emotions, identifying and challenging negative patterns of thinking, and developing healthier coping strategies and communication skills.
