Do you think expressing anger is essential sometimes?

I think righteous anger is important and I think we need to express our anger in constructive ways it is when anger becomes destructive that it needs attention and possibly professional help.

I think expressing your anger is very important and essential to your mental and physical well being. Pent up anger can lead to anxiety and stress that can have adverse effects on your health. The form of expression is where most of us err. We take our anger out by yelling, arguing or becoming agressive in other ways. I think that the best way to address anger is to stop, think about what is really bothering us, and then address the situation calmly. If it involved another person, it is definately best to wait to address the issue when you have had time to think things through and not act or speak impulsively.

I agree with you. I cannot stand conflict and will avoid it if there is any way possible but sometimes it can't be helped. But if I get angry I will try to let the person know in the calmest way I can. Getting aggressive and ugly is not the way to solve any type of problem.

i think so... Yes! because for me if you express your anger after a while or just after one night I can forget it and back to my normal attitude... also it heals our heartaches that cause of anger...

If you bottle it up you are likely setting yourself up for high blood pressure. Unless you release the tension that builds up from anger you might blow! Take a deep breath, calm yourself and let the anger go without the aggression.
