Is anger silently destroying your life?

Most people don't recognize the hidden toll that unresolved anger and resentment take on their health, relationships, and spiritual well-being. This comprehensive 20-question assessment reveals how anger—whether explosive or suppressed—is impacting you across five critical areas of life.

Discover your patterns in just 5 minutes and receive personalized insights into:

  • How you express anger (explosive outbursts vs. silent withdrawal)
  • Physical health warning signs (headaches, sleep issues, cardiovascular stress)
  • Relationship damage patterns (broken connections, constant disappointment)
  • Core fear triggers (fear of control, rejection, failure, inadequacy)
  • Spiritual and emotional disconnection (feeling distant from God, trapped in resentment cycles)

Based on proven research and the DNA of Relationships Core Fear framework, this assessment doesn't just identify problems—it provides a clear path forward. You'll receive specific, actionable next steps based on your unique results, from healthy maintenance strategies to urgent intervention recommendations.

The truth is: Anger is often fear in disguise. When you understand what's underneath your anger patterns, real healing becomes possible. Whether you're in the healthy zone or facing urgent concerns, this assessment offers hope and a roadmap for transformation.

Take the first step toward freedom from anger's grip. Your results are completely private and will help you understand what's really going on beneath the surface.
