ANGER MANAGEMENT
Finding the right help
What is anger management?
We all know what anger is, and we’ve all felt it: whether as a fleeting annoyance or as full-fledged rage. Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems—problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. And it can make you feel as though you’re at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion.
The purpose of anger management is to help a person decrease anger. It reduces the emotional physical arousal that anger can cause. A person may learn to control reactions and respond in a socially appropriate manner.
Many different events can make someone angry
Internal events: such as perceived failures, injustices, or frustrations
External events: such as loss of property or privileges, teasing, or an overload of stress.
Anger may result in externalizing behaviors or internalizing behaviors. Internalizing behaviors can include sulking or increased symptoms of depression. Aggression is the biological function of anger roots of anger may be buried in emotional trauma, grief, lack of control of environment, or other issues. But a natural inclination may be to find temporary relief in lashing out. This can obscure the true cause of the anger.
