What is your relationship with your anger like?

It is helpful to be conscious of how we relate with our own anger.

Do we judge it?
Do we judge ourselves if we have it?
Do we resist it?
Are we afraid of it?
Do we deny it?
Do we repress/suppress it?
Do we skip over it as pointless?
Do we use it to avoid our deeper hurt and sadness?
Do we blame others angrily so the focus is on them and not on what we might need to change in ourselves?
Do we turn anger inward towards ourselves which then becomes depression?
Do we use anger to stay identified as a victim?
How was anger role modelled to us by our parents?
What messages were we given when we showed our anger?
Do we know healthy ways to acknowledge and express our anger?

How well do we really know ourselves?
