Cost of Anger
Although anger can be positive at times, it more
frequently leads to harmful consequences. In its most
extreme form, it can result in road rage, domestic
violence, child abuse, physical assault, and even
murder.
According to Dr. Tony Fiore and Dr. Ari Novick, as
explained in their acclaimed book, Anger Management
for the 21st Century, the following are the five major
costs of anger:
Cost #1 – Your Health
It has been well documented that chronic, high levels of
anger are associated with an increased risk for health
problems. How often anger is experienced and how it is
expressed during periods of emotional distress are
significant factors in determining the impact on one’s
health.
Cost #2 – Your Self-Esteem
Although the expression of anger may feel good at the
moment, it often leads to feelings of guilt, shame,
embarrassment, and remorse. On a cognitive level, one
might realize that his or her response was overblown,
misdirected, and/or unwarranted. The result, in most
cases, is damage to one’s self-esteem.
Cost #3 – Your Relationships
Very few things can damage a relationship as much as
the inability to manage one’s anger. Frequent and/or
intense outbursts, whether verbal or physical, can
destroy marriages, break apart families, and ruin
friendships.
Cost #4 – Your Children
The effect on children of witnessing chronic and/or
intense anger in the household can be devastating, often
more so than the impact of parental divorce.
Cost #5 – The Workplace
What gets accomplished in the workplace, both
quantitatively and qualitatively, can be severely
compromised by poorly managed anger, frustration, and
resentment.
Summary
Uncontrolled anger can adversely affect your health, self-
esteem, relationships, the emotional well-being of your
children, and your productivity at work. On a more
extreme scale, it can lead to such undesirable behaviors
as road rage, domestic violence, child abuse, physical
assault, and even murder.
If the cost of your anger has you concerned, it is possible
that you may be a candidate for Dr. Becourtney’s anger
management program. Through individual counseling
and/or anger management groups, Dr. Becourtney
