Anger is a completely natural human emotion that can be caused by various situations, events, or by the thoughts and feelings you have about these events. People have different ways of dealing with and expressing their anger. However, if your anger is uncontrollable or excessive, or if it is interfering with your ability to get along with others or to be successful at work or school, it may be a problem. Some typical physical and emotional symptoms and behaviors associated with uncontrolled or problematic anger include the following...

Physical Signs of Anger:

Heart starts to beat faster, adrenaline levels increase, blood pressure and bod ytemperature rises Body trembles Sudden violent impulses Raising your voice Clenching your jaws or grinding your teeth Pacing

Emotional Signs of Anger:

Agitation followed by periods of melancholy Irritability Guilt Resentment Self-reproach Tendency to stay angry for a long period of time Holding grudges against people

If you find that your anger is overwhelming, uncontrollable, or interfering with your relationships at home, work, or school, and even how you feel about yourself, you may need help in learning to manage your anger.

Treatment for Anger Management

The goal of anger management is help you learn to deal more effectively with both the emotional feelings and the physiological arousal associated with your anger. The first step in anger management is admitting that it has gotten out of control and is having a negative impact on your life. It also requires a willingness to change your old, destructive way of responding to situations, and a commitment to responding in more positive, life-enhancing ways. You may never be able to completely rid yourself of the things or people that enrage you, but you can learn to control your reactions.

Treatment for problematic anger involves learning to identify the things that trigger your anger. Once you identify these triggers, you can learn strategies for how to control or reduce them, and to respond to them in a more effective way. You can also learn to identify the signs that you are becoming angry and develop strategies for how to reduce your anger before it gets out of control. Often there are other emotions that underlie anger, such as fear and hurt. Therapy can help you deal with those underlying emotions. In therapy, you can also learn healthier ways of expressing you anger. Working together with your therapist, you can learn to gain more positive control over your anger and improve your life.
