Sometimes it flares up quickly, like a match being struck. Other times it builds slowly, bubbling beneath the surface until it spills over. When we are in the middle of it, anger can feel all-consuming. It is hard to pause, hard to calm down, and even harder to remind ourselves that there is more going on than just the heat of the moment.
Anger can feel fiery, explosive, and hard to manage. But anger rarely exists on its own.
Anger rises when we feel hurt, misunderstood, powerless, or afraid. It comes to protect us, to defend us from feelings that may feel harder to face directly.
When you feel anger, it can help to pause and ask: what is really happening underneath? What is the anger trying to protect?
When we can look beyond the surface, anger stops being just a problem and starts to become a signal, pointing us to what truly needs care.
The cycle starts to loosen the moment awareness enters. Allow yourself to understand anger rather than than suppress it. When you give it space, you begin to see that it's not an enemy to silence but a signal to listen to. Anger is there to tell you something, about your needs, your limits, and what matters to you.
