The Dynamics Of Anger And Why It's Natural
Anger is a completely natural emotion. It’s part of our flight or fight response, alongside stress and anxiety. An instinctive survival reaction to danger, and a huge part of why we’re still around as a species today. In other words, as a species we’re biologically programmed to respond in certain ways to certain stimuli.
It's In Our Genes
Modern humans however don’t usually need to fight to survive in quite the same primitive ways we used to. This has left us with ‘legacy’ reactions, like anger, that can be inappropriate when they happen in the wrong circumstances.
But We Don't Really Need It As Much Today!
Unfortunately, though, modern day existence presents us with a whole range of such situations, all of which can invoke an involuntary anger response. Situations that the reaction was not really designed to deal with because they are not, fundamentally, life or death scenarios. However, that’s (modern) life… as the saying goes. And with the modern world comes the need for anger management as a way of dealing with behaviour.
The Anger Process And How You Get Angry
Instinctive survival reactions per se are brought on by certain chemical and physical changes within your body, notably the release of the flight or fight hormone adrenalin. This is why you often feel ‘pumped up’ when you get fired up. It’s your adrenaline talking!
Explaining (Simply) The Anger Process
It works something like this…
You see or sense danger. That sends a signal to your brain, which then instructs your pituitary gland to prepare you to survive the perceived threat. By fighting, or fleeing. The pituitary gland promptly sets a cascade of chemical reactions in motion that hones you for action. So you take action You either stand your ground and fight. Or you get out of there. Pronto.
Explaining (Simply) The Anger Process
So sure – we all get ‘hot under the collar’ at times. Some of us get very wound up. Some of us manage to keep our anger low key. The important thing to understand is that it isn’t the anger itself that’s the problem. It’s HOW you respond to and EXPRESS it that causes your anger management issues. Fortunately, you can now learn anger management online! To read more about what is in each of the seven Modules of the course, read this article HERE.
Anger Dynamics and Why You Get Angry
Many things can cause us to get angry. Usually it’s because we feel frustrated, deceived, threatened or disrespected by events, circumstances, or people. Once upon a time, these feelings may have preceded a life or death situation so we primed ourselves to take survival action.
An Example: Road Rage
Road rage for example is a response to feeling frustrated by an event like a traffic jam. Life-threatening – usually not! But perhaps way back when, being confronted by a gridlock of sabre tooth tigers may have presented a bit of a survival problem!
Another Example: Domestic Violence
Domestic violence likewise is often an (unacceptable!!) response to interpersonal issues and problematic relationships. It may be a perception of being deceived or disrespected by someone in a close relationship, like a partner or spouse. And often exacerbated by substance use!
Again, not usually a life threatening situation these days, or at least not for the person getting aggressive. However, when you’re confronted by a disrepectful rival warrior, you can see how the dynamics of the situation would be life-threatening. Hence the often involuntary aggressive reaction to these types of emotions. Don’t be alone with an anger problem. Help is accessible.
Psychological 'Anger' Disorders
In certain circumstances though, research shows [1] that anger is also a clinical feature of some psychological disorders, namely:
- Intermittent Explosive Disorder,
- Oppositional Defiant Disorder,
- Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder,
- Borderline Personality Disorder, and
- Bipolar Disorder.
If you have any of these disorders, or have reason to believe you may be suffering from one of them or other underlying causes, talk to a medical professional or contact Lifeline. These conditions require specific medical diagnosis and treatment.
What Is Anger Management?
Anger management is a set of techniques and strategies used to identify, handle, and reduce intense feelings of anger that may lead to disruptive or unhealthy behaviour. These techniques help you to identify and be more aware of your own anger triggers. It’s about interrupting that anger cycle. Sometimes it can be as straightforward as seeing situations in new ways or with a different perspective.
You also learn about:
- The forces that drive and control anger (anger dynamics)
- The physical and psychological changes that happen when you get angry (the anger process), and
- How to apply this knowledge to manage your anger in a healthier way.
Yes - You Get Furious. But Know There’s Probably Nothing Wrong With You
Professionals who have extensive training in dealing with anger recognise there’s often nothing wrong with people who have problems managing anger. So not necessarily any need to book a session with a psychologist or psychiatrist, or go into ‘deep therapy’!
You also probably don’t have any ‘anger’ disorder. If you do, call your doctor or Lifeline because those issues and other underlying causes may require therapy and medical treatment.
In most cases, simply having a basic understanding of how things like your brain, and emotions, ‘work’ on a biological level helps considerably. When you can put an emotion like anger into the context of your body as a whole, and how it functions, you begin to see how you can divert them into less harmful channels. That’s where we come in – we work with you to help you develop your abilities in managing anger. Anger management is definitely an area most people can improve in. And – Good News! You can easily learn more about anger management online.
