Using Anger As Self-Protection
Anger is a complex and confusing emotion, regardless of which side of it you find yourself on. It often emerges from a deep sense of powerlessness, tempting us to believe that reasserting control through displays of anger will bring us justification and a sense of security. However, when we neglect to address the pain within our own hearts, we inadvertently wound others. The allure of a power trip is always a temporary escape.
