Anger is one of our early warning systems, and usually when we feel it, it is because something is wrong, and it is one of the ways our body lets us know. Often, anger can be a call to action—an indication that something needs to change and you need to take action. Listen to your anger, reflect, and acknowledge it, then do what is best for you!

Stay Well,

Acting in anger is not bad in and of itself; it is how we act that matters. If we act with violence or without thought or consideration of consequence that often leads to bad results. However, if we take the time to digest and understand our anger, and then act with reason, understanding, and the aim of protecting, then that makes all the difference.

When we push our anger down or try to forget about being angry at all we do not acknowledge ourselves and what is was that made us feel angry. It is not enough to just reflect and understand our reasons, but we also have to accept that that feeling is okay. Feeling angry, hurt, betrayed, that things are unfair or unjust, or even just not fully understanding the feelings we have is OK. One of the worst things we can do is ignore how we feel or tear ourselves down for our feelings. What you feel is valid and giving ourselves that permission is so important.

When you feel anger, you should stop and reflect on what it is and why it is making you angry before reacting or acting on it. Take the time to sit with your anger and have a discourse. Doing this will potentially help the situation simmer down, allow for good reasoning and boundaries, and help you to understand more about yourself and the things that matter. In the future it will even help you to recognize anger and be able to better manage it in the moment!

When we think of anger, we think of yelling and shouting, conflict and strife but that is not what healthy anger looks like. Healthy anger starts inward before going outward. It is not about immediate action and conflict but is instead about understanding ourselves and our needs.

07/11/2025

When we lock our anger away, it causes mental and physical stress on our bodies that can result in illness, stress, fatigue, and more. Eventually, that anger will find it’s way out and that can be through many avenues— very few of them good. You may explode on a friend or family member, get into a fight at work, fall seriously ill, suffer from extreme anxiety and depression, and more. Letting anger build within us is only a short-term bandage solution and often leads to larger problems down the road if not treated well.

07/07/2025

Anger is often villainized, so we try and push it down, hide it away, ignore it. This is unhealthy and incorrect. Anger is our friend, it is just looking out for us and trying to keep us safe. Not every moment calls for an immediate reaction, especially an angry one, but acknowledging and validating our anger is important. How we express and treat our anger makes the world of difference.

07/05/2025

Have a good day with family and friends relaxing and celebrating the good things we have. Whether it’s a BBQ, fireworks, board games, or any other event being with those we love makes all the difference.

Stay Well,
Dr. Elke Parsons, DACM

Division is the enemy of peace and standing up for those who cannot stand for themselves is imperative but not every difference is a battle. Even when we cannot agree, treating others with empathy and compassion can turn an enemy into an ally. Stay true to who you are and what you believe, but remember that even as people seem more and more divided we can always come together again. When used correctly, tolerance is the platform for understanding. We’ve got this.

06/23/2025

Diversity is amazing and our differences are as well. Not every subject requires us to agree and in fact it is better if we don’t! In most cases it is okay to agree to disagree. In cases where it is not, it is okay to distance yourself. Sidney Hook said, “Tolerance always has limits— it cannot tolerate what is itself actively intolerant.” If you are able to educate others and help positive change that is amazing, but sometimes all we can do is say, “that is not okay, I can’t have you in my life.” And that is okay too!

06/20/2025

Thomas Mann wrote, "Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them." Tolerance is important but being tolerant does not mean you cannot defend yourself or others nor that you should be okay with everything. There will be those who will not practice tolerance and to allow them to go unchecked is dangerous. Be mindful of yourself and others and practice healthy boundaries with those who do not extend the same courtesy.

06/16/2025

We cannot be unique if we are all the same and the way we are raised, the people we are around, where we live are all factors in how we form. Because of this we will not agree on everything and that difference can lead to amazing compromises, ideas, inventions and more but it can also lead to conflict and strife. Diversity necessitates tolerance and diversity brings us closer together and grows us to greater heights!
