Anger : Dissected

Anatomy of Anger:

A complex set of symptoms, a series of symptoms with various ramifications Can come from either.

(1)An internal mechanism (created in the past) or

(2) As a reaction to a perceived violation (seems to be occurring in the present moment) or

(3) A projection of fear (an imagined or anticipated violation expected to occur in the near future).

Physiology of Anger : the trap of anger cycle

Technically it shows up in our lives as a precise sensory feedback that we are not in control. It can stimulate an impulse to protect ourselves from a perceived threat, by engaging behaviors that will maximise our survival or accelerate our demise. The more a person denies the initial impulses the more they seem to intensify and mutate into behaviors that mask. The masking of what is being resisted ( a false viewpoint imagined to be fixed) creates uncontrollable impulses to fixate ones attention on a compulsion or a drive towards revenge. Without an appropriate outlet for the intensity of feelings, a man continues the ride of denial to it's conclusion - quite often ! resulting in some form of violence. The drive is to self destruct and/or violate others.

Way Out of coming out of Anger cycle..

Once can increase one's awareness of the sensory feedback that our body gives us to let us know something is not pleasant. At the moment of recognition,there exists an opportunity to change one's viewpoint and accept more responsibility for the moment that is unfolding.it is easily said than done . One can choose to react appropriately by including language that expands and clarifies the moment. Or one can choose to ignore the opportunity for increased awareness and allow the surge of feedback to intensify in the body and resurface at a later - less opportune moment...usually when one is being less than rational.

How it affects Most Personality Disordered people are prone to be angry. Their anger is always sudden, raging, frightening and without an apparent provocation by an outside agent. It would seem that people suffering from personality disorders are in a CONSTANT state of anger, which is effectively suppressed most of the time. It manifests itself only when the person's defenses are down, incapacitated, or adversely affected by circumstances, inner or external.
