Insight into Anger

Are you an angry person? I would have answered no — after all, I don't always lose my temper. That was my answer until I was trained in counseling! Only then did I realize that all through the turbulence of adolescence, and every time I gave others 'the silent treatment,' I had been expressing my anger. Anger is a sign that something in our lives, or in the world, is wrong or out of balance. It can take many forms and expressions, from destructive to constructive. Anger is wrong when we let it erupt and harm others, or when we hold it in until it turns to bitterness. But when we bring anger under control, we can use it constructively to find the strength and courage to change situations — just as Jesus did. The content of this book is drawn from CWR's 'Insight' course. It is for those who struggle with anger, and for those who help and counsel people wrestling with destructive anger.
