Hi Liza,

Specific questions regarding TBI might better be asked in the Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Concussion Syndrome forum, however anger is one of the steps in the Kübler-Ross model; often related to grief, but also apply to any chronic illness or life-changing event.

Five Stages of Accepting an Illness

I also know from personal experience that anger need not always be a bad thing; it can be utilized positively and productively when focused or channeled. Knowledge is power.

understanding anger

utilizing anger

channeling anger constructively

focusing anger

Doc
