## What anger is

Anger is a surge of feeling that comes out sharply, in the body and in the voice. It can rise from irritation to shouting, trembling, aggression, even breaking things. A flash of it is human. It becomes costly when it is the only way you know to be heard, or when it is used to dominate.

The reading below does not excuse harm. It looks at the alarm underneath the explosion.

## The emotional meaning of anger

The source calls anger a spontaneous cry of alarm, the sign of an inner revolt, a violent discontent joined to aggression. Before the age of two it is simply a way of reacting to an inner discomfort, cold or hunger. Later it becomes a way of opposing limits. It can turn into emotional blackmail and a means of domination.

### What the heat is pushing out

The thoughts race, crowd and amplify until you can no longer see clearly. Pressure rises. You go red. The question is what disturbs you enough to explode. Great frustrations are there, and you are not able to affirm who you are. You feel invaded by someone or something. You want to chase it out, expel it, and anger is the means of expression. Introspection is hard. Admitting that you have things to change is hard. You want to stay on your positions.

Underneath, the source looks for weakness, injustice, frustration, incomprehension or powerlessness, sometimes enlarged by a strong emotivity and by impulsiveness. Once you name the reason, you may see that the conflict repeats without your noticing, and that it can come from situations unsettled since childhood. Integration is then quicker.

The entry places this heat in the liver, as toxins that can bring on a liver crisis. This site does not yet have a page for the liver. The feeling itself is not tied to one of the areas that are already here.

## A gentler way to hold it

The aim is not to ban anger, and not to use it on other people. The emotional perspective invites you to catch the alarm before it becomes the explosion.

- **Ask what is actually disturbing you.** The shout is later than the reason.
- **See if you feel invaded.** Expelling someone may be the only language the frustration has.
- **Check whether this is an old scene.** A repeating conflict often started long before today.
- **Notice the first signal.** Attention, before you are carried away, is the practice the source offers.
