Anger is a very communicative emotion. It aims to communicate with us to inform us of something.
Read this below excerpt from the book Letting go the pathway to surrender for David R. Hawkins.
Anger may vary all the way from rage to mild resentment.
It includes revenge, outrage, indignation, fury, jealousy,Β vindictiveness, spite, hatred, contempt, wrath, argumentativeness, hostility, sarcasm, impatience , frustration , negativity, aggression, violence, revulsion, meanness, rebellion, explosive behaviour, agitation, abusiveness, abrasiveness, smouldering, sullenness, pouting, and stubbornness.
Anger is a strong emotion, and this is why it is a powerful communicator unlike many other subtle emotions like apathy, indifference or shame and thatβs why it is an emotion that we tend to react as a way to express it.
Just take a look at social media posts comments under any controversial issue and you can see human anger expressed in its most raw forms.
But what if we can use Anger as a transformational emotion?
In my personal life I found that anger always hides some important information under it. Especially repressed anger.
What is repressed Anger?
The Anger that was a natural response against something and wasnβt acknowledged.
Owning this repressed Anger and allowing it to be felt and acknowledged can uncover feelings of humiliation or shame, feelings of worthlessness, feelings of pain, feelings of being defective or feelings of abandonment.
These repressed emotions under anger can carry so much information for us in our healing.
Another valuable role for Anger is when person is in a low depressed state, Anger can be a positive emotion to awaken the spark and the desire for Healing. For change and for creating something different with their life.

I have been hiding a lot of childhood trauma behind my anger to be able to not experience the same things again but figuring out what should we do with anger to heal what anger was resulting from it took me a lot to start over and Iβm grateful for all the support of Mona personally β₯οΈ
