Unfortunately, the young mental health field has relied almost exclusively upon the expression of anger as the primary mechanism for dealing with this powerful emotion. While expression is important at times, when solely relied on for relief from anger, it has limited value because mere words or behaviors cannot make up for the depth of resentment and bitterness that has been denied in significant relationships in [[childhood]] and [[adolescence]]. Many health professionals believe that while men feel anger more intensely than women, women are more likely to hold long-term grudges.
