Anger

  • I shouldn’t have said that.

  • I shouldn’t have done that.

  • That rage flashed out of me so fast.

  • This is out of control.

Is it time for some anger management? Does your temper scare others? Do you regret the things you do and say when you’re angry? Do you just always feel… annoyed? Irritated? Simmering with fury? Then yes. Yes, it’s time for some anger management.

Anger is normal. It’s an emotion we all experience. But uncontrolled anger is dangerous. Anger without restraint is destructive, and it can damage personal relationships, professional opportunities, even your physical health.

Anger Management

Turned inward, anger is dark and full of negative self-talk and can lead to depression. You may punish yourself, denying yourself the things you enjoy, like a good workout or time with friends. But missing out makes you angrier yet, which leads to additional self-reproach and resentment. Suddenly you’re in a spiral of fury, denial, and suffering.

Outwardly, anger can look like sarcasm, sulking, or giving someone the silent treatment. When it escalates, anger appears as physical intimidation, or shouting and cursing, or breaking things. At an extreme, anger may be expressed through harm to self or others.
