    Resolve Anger Workbook - Kosjenka Muk

    Introduction

    Some people condemn anger, some are afraid of it, and some can even be addicted to anger as a source of strength and motivation. Anger can sometimes be a healthy emotion, but few of us, when we were children, had enough chances to learn how to express it in constructive ways. As a result, most people feel that anger brings them more problems than benefits.

    Through this program, you can learn about healthy aspects of your anger, as well as how to recognize the unhealthy ones, which often stem from childhood experiences. Some of the exercises will guide you to explore unconscious aspects of your anger. Others are focused on helping you change your anger, explore different perspectives and create a constructive motivation.

    To achieve an optimal success with this program, it is crucial to repeat the exercises regularly. Our subconscious minds contain emotional and mental habits that were enforced for decades, and are often based on early childhood experiences and interpretations. Such deeply ingrained habits are not likely to change if you only exercise occasionally. Therefore I recommend that you apply this program regularly for a long period of time.

    Purpose and Mechanisms of Anger

    The role of anger

    Anger is one of the most frowned upon emotions. It is commonly considered a destructive emotion and an indication of character faults. Few people feel safe to express anger, and many were raised to feel guilty about feeling anger. In Christian religion, anger is one of the mortal sins. Most other religions and societies put anger close to the top of unacceptable behaviors, too.

    However, anger is an emotion equally natural and valuable as any other. Just as other emotions, anger has its purpose. Problems arise when, through long-term conditioning, we learn to deny our anger or cope with it in less than healthy ways. Few people are taught how to express anger in constructive ways.

    Healthy anger arises to warn us that something important is threatened – our personal space, sense of justice, dignity, important people, sometimes also our more abstract values. Anger gives us strength, energy and motivation to actively defend those values. By itself, such anger is normally constructive, but troubles occur when its intensity is exaggerated, or its expression is inappropriate. Also, we can easily feel anger even in situations in which it is not a realistic and appropriate response.

    How we accumulate anger

    You might have noticed that many people get angrier with age – perhaps, as you get older, you have become grumpier and less tolerant yourself? Perhaps you feel that things were better and people were nicer when you were younger?

    Every day, in every moment, our brains scan our current environment and search through all of our memories to compare them with what is going on around us. This is an important survival mechanism that helps
