*ANGER is an emotion that expresses our FEAR*

​

"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more so we can fear less." Marie Curie 

​

Other manifestations of FEAR include: Phobias, Obsessions, Depression, Panic Attacks, Substance abuse.

​Note: The interpretation of the subject of Anger on this page is entirely based on my personal opinion and should be taken in that context. It reflects ideas I sometimes share with my patients in my practice when they come to my office seeking help with panic attacks, depression or anxiety. What motivated me to develop this material is the fact that formal Psychological Counseling is not easily available to many patients and many patients have found my perspective useful to them. I highly recommend seeking professional counseling whenever possible regarding this issue, we can put you in contact with available  resources; contact our office at (816) 541 3031.   

 

I feel the subject of Anger represents a taboo in society and when it comes to therapy, I have witnessed mostly approaches based on suppression of the feeling but not its analysis, underplaying the value of this emotion as an indicator of  the existence of distorted mental structures that hinder our happiness and development. These distorted mental structures must be addressed and overcome to be able to have better control this emotion. 

I have developed a questionnaire, answer analysis and guide included in this page based on my personal observations, experiences and several Psychology educational material I have read/studied  throughout the years. These essays are intended to prompt the reader to start rationalizing this emotion by themselves. I mention scientific resources, post links to YouTube videos and websites that can be of help to the reader.
