Anger Is Not a Bad Emotion
We don’t talk enough about Anger!
Despite its bad reputation, anger is not bad, even though it might feel bad. Anger is a primary emotion—a fundamental, immediate emotional response to a perceived threat or violation of one’s needs or values. It’s there to protect us, to signal unmet needs or crossed boundaries, and often shows up when our values, principles, or limits are being challenged. 🚧
