Anger is not a disease! It is a process, a transaction, a way of communicating. Most angry episodes are social events. It is fine to be angry but how and when you express it is a key factor. You can either protect your relationships, your loved ones, or one outburst at a time destroy them. Learn to manage your anger!

Anger is a human emotion with often a justifiable cause - expectation disappointment, protection of loved ones, and so on - and the key is to learn adaptive ways of communicating and having angry thoughts and emotions without crossing certain boundaries. I want to help you focus on replacing aggressive, unhealthy communication with calm, assertive communication.
