Dr. Monika Khatwani
What is anger?
Anger –It is expression of helplessness and extreme displeasure.
Why Anger-when expectation doesn’t match reality.
Types of Anger
How To Manage
1. Accept the outcome and solve the issue.
2. Self awareness- Be aware of the cause of anger so that you can correct
it.
3. No Expectations from others-People don’t live for your expectations ,so
make conversation rather argument.
4. Higher Choices- We always have 2 choices to handle the situation either
we can ruin it by getting angry or we can think of other option.
5. Focus on what is in ‘my control’ rather that’s what’s not in your control.

4. Exercise (for example, take a walk, go to the gym).
5. Attend 12-Step meetings.
6. Explore primary feelings beneath the anger.
1.Identifying the Problem. This step involves identifying the specific problem that is causing
the conflict (for example, a friend’s not being on time when you come to pick him or her up).
2.Identifying the Feelings. In this step, you identify the feelings associated with the conflict
(for example, frustration, hurt, or annoyance).
3.Identifying the Specific Impact. This step involves identifying the specific impact or
outcome of the problem that is causing the conflict (for example, being late for the meeting
that you and your friend plan to attend).
4.Deciding Whether To Resolve the Conflict. This step involves deciding whether to resolve
the conflict or let it go. In other words, is the conflict important enough to bring up?
5.Addressing and Resolving the Conflict. In this step, you set up a time to address the
conflict, describe how you perceive it, express your feelings about it, and discuss how it can
be resolved
•Describe your family. Did you live with both parents? Did
you have any brothers and sisters? Where did you grow
up?
•How was anger expressed in your family while you were
growing up? How did your father express anger? How did
your mother express anger? Were you ever threatened
with physical violence? Was one parent abusive to the
other parent or to you?
Anger at Subconscious level
What We Learned
Anger has potent energy.(different people express anger in different ways )
Anger leads to Hurt. We have 3 Choices to tackle it.
a) Low Morale and don’t take any action
b) Fight , Rebel , hate
c) Convert hurt into growth
Anger is double edged sword
a)It can be used for doing harm and wrong purpose (like terrorist activities).
b)Can be used for right purpose (like Mahatma Gandhi to free the nation when he was humiliated on railway track)
When we channelize our anger, it becomes our strength.
