Anger cycle

  1. Pretends to be normal phase: life runs smoothly but anger lurks beneath the surface, affecting the way the person lives and acts

  2. Build up phase: person focuses on the distorted thinking

  3. Acting out phase

  4. Downward spiral phase: person feels guilt and defenses are built

““Temper/anger is a vicious and corrosive thing that destroys affection and casts out love”  “ who can calculate the wounds inflicted, their depth and pain, by harsh and mean words spoken in anger?””
— President Gordon B. Hinckley

Anger is inappropriately handled in 3 ways

1. Aggression: physical violence, emotional and verbal abuse, control and domination

2. Internalization: directed toward self

3. Passive-aggressive behavior: anger expressed indirectly through rather than directly aggressive

  2. Dwell on the negative

  3. Threat

  4. Injustice

  5. Mistreatment
