Get to know yourself through your emotions

Anger is a basic emotion that appears when our boundaries are violated, something hinders us from reaching a goal or we experience injustice, frustration or a threat to important values. Its task is to mobilise us to protect ourselves, express opposition and bring about change.

In the body there may appear muscle tension, a faster heartbeat, quicker breathing, a feeling of heat, clenched jaws or fists and a surge of energy.

Anger is not a "bad" emotion. It is a natural signal that helps us recognise violated boundaries, defend our needs and react to injustice. It is not anger itself that is the problem, but the way we express it.
