I have asked this before: how are some people angry for sustained and prolonged periods of time, years even? We all get angry sometimes but if your anger has long outlived the original problem and keeps searching for new validation/fuel stop and question where it's coming from
It could be a court case or an old barb you cannot let go of. you may be assuming the persona of an angry person and it has become your secondary gain because you have to identify with it. It's now your comfort zone. Ask what it gives you.
Who will you be in relation to the person/people you're angry with if there is no anger between you? What are you afraid will happen? What are you afraid won't happen?
Anger is always the burden of the person carrying it, not the object of anger. For all you know they may not even know that you are angry, may not remember the incident you nurture. Ask yourself if it's worth carrying it for so long.
Violent expression of anger is a physical build up. Your body undergoes increased heart rate blood pressure. You shout and gesticulate because it's a fear reaction and self protection. An anxiety response.
If you observe the thought from mind to emotion to bodily expression, inner zone to outer, until it is discharged you will note the heightened state you are staying in. The anger is yours, you feed it, and it consumes only you. Know you have the choice to exit this cycle.
Sometimes we erect our anger as protection against the bogeymen we perceive to hold the power in our world. The threat may be real to some degree. But there are other ways to counter than surrendering yourself to the anger. Therapy has solutions.Don't make a profession of anger.
