Anger Management

Anger is a response to what life sometimes brings us, most often an interaction with another human being.

Angry feelings start with an experience of pain.

This hurt can be physical or emotional:

It can be a stomach ache or fatigue, feelings of rejection or loss.

The pain causes a biological arousal, a strong desire for release.

The particular forms of the release or response can be either creative, or destructive.

Everyone has reasons to be angry from time to time; there are many injustices in the world and in our lives.

The feeling of anger is a signal, a red flag telling us that we perceive something either 'not right' or 'not fair.'

Destructive response to anger however is a problem in the world, in families, in the workplace, and in relationships.

We hurt the relationship we have with ourselves and with others

We can learn to manage our response to angry feelings in an effective and healthy way.
