What is Anger?Anger is a natural emotion. It’s nature’s way of telling us that something in our lives has gone haywire.

Anger occurs as a defensive response to a perceived attack or threat to our well-being.

“Anybody can become angry - that is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.”- Aristotle
