Anger\u00a0\u00a0is a healthy emotion in everybody\u2019s life \u2014 when it\u2019s expressed in an appropriate manner at the right time.<\/p>\n

Anger can help to energize and motivate us to work to address problems with another person or to change our life situation. However, there are potential negative consequences of anger when it is not managed or expressed appropriately. Prolonged or intense anger contributes to physical conditions such as insomnia, loss of appetite, chronic fatigue, headaches, stomach aches, tightness in the throat, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure digestive problems, or heart diseas. Problems dealing with angry feelings may be linked to yelling, cursing, threatening others, pushing, shoving, hitting, hostility, resentment, rage, anxiety, numbness, depression, crying spells, low self esteem, or abuse of alcohol or drugs.<\/p>\n

Managing anger involves making choices to reduce the frequency and intensity of anger, which diminishes the negative consequences of aggressive outbursts. There are four components to anger management:
\n1) Self Expression: \u00a0Promote constructive communication
\n2) Take Responsibility: To take ownership over our choices
\n3) Acceptance: Increase frustration tolerance
\n4) Delay Gratification Manage impulse control<\/p>\n

Anger management involves not saying or doing something that we\u2019ll later regret. It involves calming ourselves, making cool-headed assessments of the situation, and taking sensible action. Anger management is useful for everyone, since we all have anger and need to cope with other\u2019s anger. Many people seek anger management when they come to realize that their way of moving through life is not working. They have begun to see that it wasn\u2019t bad luck or someone else\u2019s fault<\/p>\n

If you are considering anger management counseling, my guess is that you have a respectable job and care deeply for your family and friends, even though you may lash out at them. So why do you do it? More than likely, our problem managing anger is due to various factors, some of which are hidden from awareness. The goal of anger management therapy is to isolate the triggers that ignite our rage in the present.<\/p>\n
