"Anger: Thoughts, Feelings, and Behavior"

Anger is a natural emotional response to perceived frustration, injustice, or threat. It involves three components: thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Thoughts include internal judgments or beliefs that trigger anger, like feeling wronged. Feelings are the emotional sensations such as irritation or rage. Behaviors are how we express or act on that anger, like shouting, pouting, or withdrawing. Understanding these parts can help manage anger more effectively by recognizing early signs, identifying thoughts fueling it, and choosing healthier responses instead of impulsive reactions. Managing anger involves awareness, reflection, and controlled actions to prevent harm and restore emotional balance.
