Cause of Anger
Are you aware of the cause of anger, your anger? Are you even aware that you are angry? These are questions that everyone needs to address because we are all carrying anger at some level of our being. In most cases it is very well hidden.
If you are not accustomed to looking within yourself, the anger issue will only surface in relations to others. You've often heard the expression, "You make me angry." This expression is one of the many
anger triggers
You may have even said it yourself. I know I did when I was not aware of my behavior. If a person gets angry for one reason or another, the anger is within and the other person's behavior is triggering your anger.
Looking Within Yourself
So the cause of anger is within one's self. Many things happen in your life time which are forgotten, especially incidences during your childhood. Our early childhood training affects us for the rest of our lives. If you were in a family situation where you heard angry voices daily, you learn that type of behavior and eventually feel that it is acceptable. It is important to release that learned behavior as it is not yours, and to forgive your parents or care givers for their behavior. It is also important to forgive yourself and then release it.
Forgiveness and Releasing Anger is Important

The cause of anger could be the result of repeated situations where you felt one of the following emotions: rejection, insecure, inadequate, and fear, which could have resulted from adults who harassed, manipulated, and criticized you repeatedly. Your anger could also be hiding your underlying feelings of guilt and vulnerability.Most children (not all of them) who were raised back in the 40's and 50's were not allowed to talk back to their elders, nor were they allowed to have an opinion. The motto for children back then was 'better to be seen than heard'. If a child misbehaved, there was severe punishment. That type of child rearing does not exist today. But there are many adults walking around raised in that fashion who have many physical and behavioral problems, of which anger could be one of them.
Hidden Anger from Childhood
In my opinion, anger is the underlying cause of many diseases mental and physical. The children raised at that time had to swallow all their emotions - pain, (both emotional and physical), anger, plus all other emotions. This swallowing of the emotions has led to many chronic stomach, gall bladder, liver and other intestinal problems, read
anger and health
The body is not built to retain all those toxic emotions and function properly. Anger is especially toxic, it kills. In order to find the exact cause of anger, you need to go back into your childhood and examine all the situations that were unpleasant, then forgive yourself and those who were abusive towards you and release all the toxic emotions, especially anger. In some cases, reviewing your childhood is not enough, then it is also important to look for the root cause in one of your past lives. Once you discover the root cause of your anger, then you are ready to release it.
