Anger, a type of idol-worship, distracts the soul from G-d.
In Kabbala, the maturation of the sefirot from individual points into partzufim is the process that marks the transition from the chaotic, unstable world of Tohu to the rectified world of Tikun. Anger is seen to be the result of the maturation of the name Eh-yeh, and its rectification involves tracing it back to its source in this divine name.
