What Is Anger Management?

Anger is a natural emotion – but it can become problematic when it overwhelms you and gets out of control.

Extreme anger can lead to destructive behaviour, ruined relationships and even some issues with physical health. Meanwhile, chronic anger can lead to various mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, as well as physical health problems like high blood pressure and heart disease. That’s why understanding how to manage anger is crucial for maintaining positive relationships, as well as mental and physical health.

Anger management is a combination of therapy and techniques that teaches you coping strategies, how to handle situations that trigger anger and lifestyle changes to reduce your overall stress levels. This is achieved through relaxation techniques, cognitive restructuring and working on improving problem-solving and communication skills. Eventually, it will help you recognise the source of your anger, control your emotional responses and express your feelings in a calm and constructive manner.
