Amplification by social media: Social media's design often amplifies and rewards anger and outrage, reinforcing users' negative emotions. Algorithm-driven "echo chambers" reinforce pre-existing beliefs and animosity toward opposing groups, hardening divisions. Heightened social hostility: For marginalized communities, public anger can increase hostility and stigmatization. For instance, the "angry Black woman" stereotype shows how anger from minority groups is often dismissed and used to justify social control and disproportionate punishment._
Therapy can also teach you how to use healthy coping skills to regulate uncomfortable emotions rather than develop addictions or destructive behaviors. A mental healthcare provider can also help you set boundaries, which you will need if you are still in regular contact with your dysfunctional family members. You might need to limit contact with your relatives as you work on your recovery.
