U

Sincerely never offended by honesty and personal views. I am always free to challenge your views and you to refine them.

Anger is part of the grief curve and I have quite a liberal view on it. Anger is a primary limbic emotion normally when posters post about their anger I sense shift, I am rarely wrong, so there is many times something I like in the grief process.

Anger when appropriate and expressed correctly is healing, a chance that there is motivation for change, anger is great for initiating change. An enormous force for good.

Anger isn't terrific if it seeks revenge. Resentment is really tough on the one with anger. Being angry isn't a bad thing, in fact it's almost a mistake to be angry and ignore it. It's a key sign a core boundary has been infringed. Anger seeks justice. Burying it creates hate and resentment. as they say better out than in. accept you are angry, give yourself space, then say it appropriately, agree to disagree. Then go punch a punchbag.

Unjustified 'anger' is entitlement not anger at all. So it is good to know is what are you angry with, do I have a valid angry response or am I secretly irritated by something else and this is the way it is emerging? Is a human basic right or a core boundary infringed or am I being an @rse. The former needs action and the latter a 2x4.

One area I disagree U is that this is WW issue too, somewhere you may need to express the anger and this is where you have the choice. WW will have sensed the shift in you, anger changes posture, tone and affect in a way other emotions don't.

So the key question is how will you express the anger?

Can you do this in a constructive way?

Can you manage this and what is your plan for it?

It's an important turning point.
