long-held views, or when we are
faced with obstacles that keep us
from attaining personal goals.

unpredictable and powerful
emotion. This brochure is meant

Anger can be caused by both


external and internal events.
You could be angry at a
specific person (Such as a

caused by worrying or
brooding about your personal
problems. Memories of
traumatic or enraging events
can also trigger angry feelings.
