What is anger?
Anger is a strong feeling of displeasure or hostility. Although anger is a basic human emotion, feeling angry can be a problem for many people. This is because many people believe:
* nice people shouldn't be angry
* becoming angry means losing control
* if others are angry at me, I must have hurt them in some way and am therefore responsible
* anger means the end of a relationship or the end of loving or being loved
* anger is sinful.
