Anger is the first emotion humans experience and the last we learn to
manage. Usually anger happens due to interpersonal interactions. Though
we see an external event making us angry, physiologically it is we who
make ourselves angry. Dealing directly with angry leads to learning and
strengthening of oneself. Indirect dealing leads to frustration,
physical and physiological ailments, groupism and lowered personal
organizational effectiveness.The anger cycle- We
percieve a threat and assumptions are made about dangers that we may
have to face due to the perceived threat. We then make an assesment of
our power to handle it. If we feel powerless , anger is the result and
viceversa. We act in order to reduce it.Then how to deal with anger???Recognize
and own the anger. Is it mild, moderate or intense. Knowing this can
help us assess our ability to deal with it. Diagnose the threat: who,
what..... What i m losing or going to lose, why is it a threat? Share
these perceptions with the others and obtain feed back.
