Or do you know that your rage is out of control? Different types of anger can cause different issues, and rage is connected to several\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/what-is-mental-health.htm\">mental health<\/a> diagnoses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What is anger? A brief introduction <\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Anger and rage come from the same<\/strong> beginning. We feel frustrated, irritated, and upset about something. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #333399;\">Anger is not &#8216;bad&#8217; in and of itself. It is simply an emotion, and one that can be very useful for protecting ourselves. It depends on what we do with our anger that determines if it&#8217;s a problem or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>If we use anger as a guide to knowing what we are not happy about,<\/strong> and then calmly let the other person know where our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/healthy-boundaries.htm\">personal boundary<\/a> lies, anger protects our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/mental-wellbeing.htm\">wellbeing<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>But if we judge ourselves for our anger, and repress it instead of express it?<\/strong> It can negatively affect both our health and our relationships. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>And what if we refuse responsibility for our anger?<\/strong> Then we enter the territory of rage. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Anger vs rage <\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Rage means that we refuse to sit with the<\/strong> frustration and upset we feel. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #800080;\">Instead of having the maturity to let it move through us and evolve into a creative solution, we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/psychological-projection-are-you-making-everyone-else-responsible.htm\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">project<\/span><\/a> our frustrated feelings onto others. We try to make someone else deal with our frustration for us. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Whereas anger can be constructive, rage tends to be<\/strong> destructive. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-119948\" src=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/wp-content\/uploads\/rade-nugroho-XWaq8lkWy_E-unsplash-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"the different types of anger\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/wp-content\/uploads\/rade-nugroho-XWaq8lkWy_E-unsplash-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/wp-content\/uploads\/rade-nugroho-XWaq8lkWy_E-unsplash-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/wp-content\/uploads\/rade-nugroho-XWaq8lkWy_E-unsplash.jpg 709w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>Rage can also be more physical. As it\u2019s a very high level of anger, your<\/strong> adrenaline, amongst other brain chemicals, soars. So you can feel \u2018out of body\u2019,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>as if things are suddenly hyper clear and 3-D, and physically stronger than usual, even superhuman. Unfortunately this also means you can\u2019t think straight and are less rational. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The different types of anger <\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">When it comes to the different types of anger and rage talked about in psychotherapy, <\/span><span class=\"s1\">you\u2019ll mostly find talk of the following.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #993366;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/repressed-anger.htm\">Repressed anger<\/a>.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is when you don\u2019t acknowledge your anger but try to push it away and ignore it. All your angry thoughts and feelings bottle up and it does lead to side effects, such as<a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/push-pull-relationship.htm\"> difficult relationships<\/a> and poor mental and even physical health. Or eventual explosions of misplaced rage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #993366;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/what-is-passive-aggressive-behaviour.htm\">Passive aggressive anger<\/a>.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is where you repress your anger at first, then let it leak out in hidden and unhelpful ways. Instead of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/healthy-boundaries.htm\">setting boundaries<\/a> and admitting your feelings? You do things to punish the other, such as suddenly ignoring them, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/push-pull-relationship.htm\">blowing hot and cold<\/a>, or getting angry at them for something illogical instead of the real issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993366;\">Righteous anger.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Not actually psychological term, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/righteous-indignation.htm\">righteous anger<\/a> is more connected to religion and political debate. But it is worth mentioning as it can unfortunately be used as an &#8216;acceptable&#8217; cover for anger issues. An example is people who go to demonstrations and then smash and break things when the actual cause they are demonstrating for does not call for it.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The different types of rage<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As well as the different types of anger, there are different types of rage, connected to different disorders.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993366;\">Narcissistic rage.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Narcissistic rage is rather a dated term, connected back to<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/freuds-main-theories-psychoanalysis.htm\">Freud himself<\/a> and his school of psychoanalysis. He believed in \u2018narcissistic injury\u2019, where someone who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/what-is-a-narcissist.htm\">is a narcissist<\/a> feels that their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/self-esteem-and-depression.htm\">self-esteem<\/a> or<a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/low-self-worth.htm\"> worth<\/a> is being attacked and their \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/who-are-you-really.htm\">true self<\/a>\u2019 revealed. They have lost the total control they desire. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/what-is-a-malignant-narcissist.htm\">Narcissistic rage<\/a> as a term was coined later, and refers to<\/strong> the narcissist\u2019s incontrollable anger in response to narcissistic injury. They seek revenge for the exposure they feel, purposely hurting the other.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800080;\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/270291891_Narcissistic_Rage_Revisited\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">2014 study<\/span><\/a> connected narcissistic rage more to vulnerable narcissism than grandiose narcissism. But note that narcissistic personality disorder has since been dropped entirely from the DSM-V as a diagnosis, and while the ICD-10 still contains NPD, vulnerable narcissism is not recognised.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #993366;\">Borderline rage.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Borderline rage is the uncontrollable anger felt by those with<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/compassion-for-borderline-personality-disorder.htm\">borderline personality disorder<\/a> when they feel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/the-private-hell-of-rejection-why-does-it-keep-happening-to-you.htm\">rejected<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/abandonment-issues.htm\">abandoned<\/a>.
