- you can scream into a pillow, punch a pillow or stomp. Sometimes a
good temper tantrum is in order.

the way we deal with our anger is bad. There are many times where anger
can be good and is quite appropriate. At can be protection from allowing
other people to manipulate or dominate us. It can also motivate us to
take action when needed.
