Key Points: Anger Management
- Anger is a natural primary emotion that shows dislike or displeasure and can act as a protective response to threats.
- The limbic system (especially the amygdala) controls anger, and it can override the thinking brain (cerebral cortex), leading to impulsive reactions.
- During anger, the brain reacts emotionally first, and it may take about 20 minutes to calm down and think clearly.
- Triggers of anger are events that activate the body’s anger system and differ from person to person.
- Common triggers include verbal (insults, criticism), non-verbal (ignoring, gestures), and physical (harm or threats).
- Anger is expressed in four ways: emotionally (feelings), cognitively (thoughts), physically (body changes), and behaviourally (actions).
- Anger depends on three factors: the trigger, the person’s personality, and their interpretation of the situation.
