Dr. Gary Oliver and Norm Wright discuss the emotions of hurt, frustration, and fear as the variables that, if left unchecked, contribute most significantly to damaging anger.1 A brief review of Jarods recent history revealed how each of those variables of hurt, frustration, and fear of more future pains had gone unexamined in his life and left him with an unhealthy anger. He was much like a wounded animal that corners itself in a tight space and then lashes out at anyone attempting to help. His anger had left him unable to trust anyone. And the more we focused on these primary issues of his hurt, frustration, and fear, the more he reacted with the only emotion he felt safe with at that timeanger.
