The physical effects of anger include increased heart rate, blood pressure, and levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline. Some view anger as part of the fight or flight brain response to the perceived threat of harm. Anger becomes the predominant feeling behaviorally, cognitively, and physiologically when a person makes the conscious choice to take action to immediately stop the threatening behavior of another outside force. The English term originally comes from the term angr of Old Norse language. Anger can have many physical and mental consequences. The external expression of anger can be found in facial expressions, body language, physiological responses, and at times in public acts of aggression. Humans and non-human animals for example make loud sounds, attempt to look physically larger, bare their teeth, and stare. Anger is a behavioral pattern designed to warn aggressors to stop their threatening behavior. Rarely does a physical altercation occur without the prior expression of anger by at least one of the participants. While most of those who experience anger explain its arousal as a result of "what has happened to them," psychologists point out that an angry person can be very well mistaken because anger causes a loss in self-monitoring capacity and objective observability. Modern psychologists view anger as a primary, natural, and mature emotion experienced by all humans at times, and as something that has functional value for survival. Anger can mobilize psychological resources for corrective action. Uncontrolled anger can, however, negatively affect personal or social well-being. While many philosophers and writers have warned against the spontaneous and uncontrolled fits of anger, there has been disagreement over the intrinsic value of anger. Dealing with anger has been addressed in the writings of the earliest philosophers up to modern times. Modern psychologists, in contrast to the earlier writers, have also pointed out the possible harmful effects of suppression of anger. Displays of anger can be used as a manipulation strategy for social influence. In terms of the seven deadly sins, anger is the sin wrath. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I have anger inside toward people who have hurt me - either through saying things that hurt me or accusing me of things I did not do.

Asked by Stareyes - Sat Apr 14 10:44:07 2007 - - 15 Answers - 0 Comments A. Find a notebook (spiral bound type) or any sort of book that has pages that can easily be turned and feels comfortable to write in. Then journal everything you're feeling. Just write and write...tell who hurt you, how you felt then, how you feel now, how angry you are at them, how you wish you could show them how they hurt you, etc. Vent it out through that journal every single time you feel your anger start to build. It's worked for me for the past three years. Anger from dealing with my rude, insensitive, and just plain evil inlaws was building up, and it was beginning to take a toll on my health. Since I started journaling, I can deal with them much better, and my health has returned to normal. Best of luck to you!
