Anger is an emotion that we feel when something gets in the way of a desired outcome or when we believe there's a violation of the way things should be.

• Brene Brown Atlas of the Heart p. 220

Anger is a full contact emotion. because it activates our nervous system and can hiject our thoughts and behaviors, it can take a real toll of our mental and phsycial health.

Anger is a catalyst. Holding on to it will make us exhausted and sick. Internalizing anger will take away our joy and spirit; externalizing anger will make us less effective in our attempts to create change and forge connection. It's an emotion that we need to transform into something life-giving: courage, love, change, compassion, justice.
