  • Anger Management

    Anger
    Management

Anger is a universal human emotion that can involve strong arousal of the “fight or flight” response.

An angry businesswoman tears up some paper while walking.

The experience of anger involves several components including:

  • An appraisal of being wronged
  • Physiological arousal, often including muscle tension, rapid, shallow breathing, increased heart rate, and increased adrenaline and gastrointestinal symptoms
  • A behavioural response that could include verbal or physical aggression.

When anger is not expressed in healthy ways, it can cause difficulties in social, family and/or work relationships. It can leave the angry person feeling guilty, alone, disappointed and out of control.

How to Manage Your Anger

Anger is often a response to pain and frustration. It is a learned response and it can be unlearned with time and effort.

Strategies for controlling angry feelings, managing stress and solving problems can help to decrease destructive expressions of anger. If your anger is interfering with your relationships, work and overall quality of life, consider speaking to a professional about getting help. Psychologists can help you to identify what triggers your anger as well as challenge the thoughts and behaviours that tend to get you into trouble. They can also teach you some relaxation techniques and assertiveness skills to help create long-lasting change.
