How it shows up
Rage is anger that floods past the point of choice: shouting, slamming, or saying things one would not say on reflection. It can follow serious injustice, humiliation, or long-held strain finally breaking through. In rage, attention narrows sharply and the usual brakes stop working for a while. Many people describe it afterwards as having happened to them, which captures what sets it apart from ordinary, still-steerable anger.
How it differs from Anger
Anger can still be steered; rage is anger at an intensity that overrides self-control.
Notice
Looking back on moments of rage, notice the point at which choice seemed to slip away.
Where it is felt
Felt most in the chest, head and face.
