How Anger Affects the Brain and Body [Infographic]

240 Comments

Anger can be one of the most challenging emotions that we work with.

Clients are sometimes afraid of their anger. Or, maybe they consider it inappropriate to even feel this way at all.

Not only that, when anger is misdirected, it often leads to poor choices, damaged relationships, and even violence.

But anger can actually be an asset to our clients . . . as long as it’s channeled properly.

So how can we help clients express their anger more effectively?

Here’s a tool you can use to help clients understand the impact of anger on the brain and body. Click To Tweet

It begins by helping them understand how anger is triggered, and what happens in the body and brain – especially when anger is chronic or unprocessed.

So we thought it would be helpful for you to have a way to illustrate this for your clients. (And please feel free to make a copy of this to share with them.)

How will you use this in your work with clients?

    Thank you so much for your illustration and explanation on the effects of anger. Very informative and HELPFUL! I had sense enough to know something was happening but not enough to know what. Very thought provoking for a brief summary. Good job.

    Biggest reason people have mood swings and anger issues (bipolar, etc) and other mental disorders is because of… PARASITES all throughout the body, organs, blood and brain, a virtually unknown epidemic, various parasites mess with the chemical balance in the brain, eat through your organs, cause countless health issues, and much much more. Making it near impossible to control your anger and moods with your own willpower. Some parasites can lay 1 million eggs per day, the more you have the worse things get. Mainstream doctors can barely detect them with their primitive technology. You must destroy them with parasite cleanses using powerful herbs like wormwood, research how to do a parasite cleanse, it takes some time to kill them off.

    Also if you can find someone using Rife resonate frequency technology, it can scan your body to instantly see ALL the pathogens in your body (parasites, bacteria, viruses), and it can then target each organism by it’s own frequency to destroy them, this is obviously light years beyond anything the primitive mainstream sick-care system has to offer, the future of medicine! I myself have been saved just this year by the grace of God by the above mentioned solutions (before I almost destroyed myself, my family and my life). If you seek you will find, ask and you will receive, God Bless!

    The I know that this isn’t what you expected: The Alliance for Africa’s Orphanages, Inc. is trying to educate the people who take care of vulnerable people in rural areas and slums. We need simplified informatics on various topics to help them. We plan to get lay teachers to explain what th is means to for them in their own work with these populations. we can then get someone to translate the infographics into their local language.
