Three Ways People Deal With Anger

Three approaches to anger are expressing, suppressing and calming.

Expressing angry feelings is necessary and healthy when it is done assertively rather than aggressively. People who let loose and become hostile or aggressive put others on the defensive, exacerbating the situation. Expressing anger aggressively turns people off and compels them to distance themselves from you. This can ruin personal and professional relationships.

Anger can be suppressed, converted or redirected. This happens when an individual holds the anger inside, tries to stop thinking about it or focuses on something else. This can be a harmful response, because it can turn against the person. When anger is held in, it tends to increase in intensity or expand under pressure. The individual risks doing real harm to themselves when anger is suppressed. It can cause high blood pressure, ulcers or depression, as well as pathological expressions like passive-aggressive behavior or becoming overly critical, cynical or negative. Suppressing anger can lead to poor relationships with others and make life miserable.

Common Anger Triggers

  • Grief and sadness from the loss of a family member, friend or other loved one.
  • Shorter temper and irritability when tired.
  • When an injustice occurs, such as infidelity, being bullied, humiliated or embarrassed or being told that you or a loved one has a serious illness.
  • Sexual frustration.
  • Money problems and the stress associated with debt.
  • Unrealistic deadlines and things beyond immediate control, such as being stuck in traffic.
  • A feeling of failure or disappointment.
  • Taking drugs or alcohol or when withdrawing from substances.
  • Having a crime committed against you or a loved one (theft, violence, sexual offenses and more minor things, such as being treated inappropriately).
  • Being physically or mentally unwell, in pain or living with a serious illness.

Amanda always validates my feelings and is great at talking me through what is happening in my head. She allows me to talk and get out what I need to then helps me analyze it to move past it. I am truly grateful for her. I was very afraid of restarting therapy with a new clinician but I can't say enough how appreciative I am of her.
