Anger

Anger is a normal human emotion where one experiences feeling upset or annoyed because something did not meet their expectation. As with any type of mental health check, you can focus on your emotions and find that one in particular may be overwhelming.

​

Anger is a response that can be brought about by outside stimulus, past or ongoing trauma, triggers, new or repetitive situations and many more things that we interact with on a day to day basis.

​

Slowing down and taking a moment to process your anger to assess if it is an unhealthy emotional response is the first step. If you are wondering if you need anger management you can start by asking yourself:

​

• Is anger my first response?

• Do I feel like anger overpowers all other emotions?

• Does anger cloud my mind?

• Is my anger difficult to diffuse?

• Does my anger lead to inappropriate actions?

• Can I control myself when I feel angry?

• Do I feel like I need anger management help?

​

Anger management revolves around understanding your triggers, learning and practicing healthier ways of expressing anger and also knowing how to prevent it from occurring often.
