Anger is chemical and not psychological and will pass. See Sapolsky's discussion of the Limbic system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAOnSbDSaOw

When I am angry I am self aware enough to wait until the chemicals are gone in order to discuss things. I don't think this is unhealthy in any way. In fact, I usually don't like the feeling of anger and look forward with happiness to the calm that will follow. It is interesting that the original source of anger becomes resolved once the chemicals are gone. I found it interesting that the Inuits do the same thing.
