Anger comprises a range of emotions that may lead to aggressive behavior and hostile attitudes. Because it is a natural response to perceived injustice, anger is not inherently bad. However, unhealthy expressions of anger can damage our bodies, minds, relationships, and spiritual life. In this episode John describes anger, helps us pay attention to our anger (e.g., safe spaces, triggers), and attune to those struggling with anger (e.g., don't minimize). The episode closes with four practices for the toolbox.

Key verses: Ephesians 4:27-31; James 1:19-20; 3:1-10; Proverbs 15:1

NOTE: Anger tends to relate to other mental health disorders (i.e., comorbidity) and disproportionately affects men and young adults.
