Anger is a secondary emotion – a mask that conceals something much more profound.
When we feel angry, explains Jean – Claude Chalmet, we should honour and respect our anger; however, we must do all we can to refrain from acting on it as this leads to more negative feelings such as guilt, which often leads to punishment.
Anger is an expression of hurt, and through therapy, it is possible to work on the underlying cause of your pain and eventually learn to be a parent towards yourself.
