Rage ! A modern thing they say, and yet it's roots lay in the way we have always dealt with our sore feelings. Left unchecked they amass a great wealth of energy that can drive us to moments of near insanity as we strive to relieve ourselves from the hell.

Rage is actually just a symptom of the underlying problem. It's a symptom of modern day living and it's pressure on us to keep up with the pace. As the UK strives to understand why it has the worst rage record in Europe we may also ask ourselves why, as a nation, we struggle to communicate and openly express our feelings.

Our sore feelings may be the key to our relief but for over a century now the good old British stiff upper lip has served to enshrine a sense of shame on those that wanted to express their feelings openly.

The time has come to recognise that your feelings, your sore feelings are simply indicators, that all is not well. Don't hide them away, embrace them, relate to them and with a little help from us learn to use them to avoid rage.
