You can get ahead of the rush of cortisol enough to watch it happening and remain lucid / disconnected from it, but that's not enough (at least in my experience so far) to avoid the unpleasant physical sensation.
I abhor the the anger sensation in the body. I am generally in a good relaxed mood and rarely get angry but it does happen when pushed too far. Last time it happened I was observing the sensation and my reaction to the trigger without being able to make it stop. I now believe it’s okay to let it run its course, it’s perhaps better than trying to suppress it. But oh boy, that visceral feeling isn’t pleasant at all, a total mood disrupter.

Observing anger can be similarly humbling.
