When things aren't going your way, it’s natural to feel annoyed, frustrated or even angry. Keeping your cool and managing your emotions in the heat of the moment is challenging at the best of times.
Anger can be our way of expressing or responding to a range of other feelings, such as:
frustration
embarrassment or humiliation
guilt or shame
jealousy
hurt or sadness
feeling unable to control a situation
feeling threatened or frightened
feeling unfairly treated
feeling misunderstood or not listened to
feeling the pressure of living in two worlds (that is, First Nation Peoples and non-Indigenous)
feeling a loss of connection to family, community or country.
