title: Positively channeling workplace anger and anxiety. Part I.
abstract: Negative emotions are not only a natural component of the world of work, they must be acknowledged and engaged if individuals are to make good decisions and if businesses are to create effective teams. Understanding that anger is a fear based emotion and that the brain is structured so anger and fear can be processed more quickly than rational thinking provides tremendous insights for occupational health personnel. Occupational and environmental health nurses can use the techniques presented in this article to develop employee self awareness and skills for positively channeling their workplace anger and anxiety.
