STORM STARTER

WHAT EMOTIONS LURK
BENEATH YOUR ANGER?

The Science

Anger is often a secondary emotion; it can be the physical response to an underlying feeling.

Consider the reason for the stormy mood. Are they connected to embarrassment, betrayal, disappointment, frustration, fear, or insecurity?

Acknowledging and addressing the root cause will help you to navigate powerful feelings better.
