Anger management is a procedure of acquiring the skills to recognize signs that you are becoming angry, and taking action to deal with the situation in a positive way.
In no way does anger management mean holding the anger in or trying to keep from feeling anger. It is focused on recognizing your “triggers” of emotions and developing healthier ways to deal with how that anger which works for you as opposed to against you.
Anger management teaches you to recognize frustrations early on and settle them in a way that allows you to express your needs, while remaining calm and in control. Coping with anger is an acquired skill which involves< unlearning some of the bad behaviors that result from frustration.
Anger management helps you identify what triggers your emotions, and how to respond so that things work in your favor, instead of against you.
We all feel angry sometimes and may say or do things we regret. This is a normal part of life, and may not necessarily mean you need anger management help. If your anger is having a detrimental effect on relationships, is making you unhappy, or is leading to violent or dangerous behavior, you probably need help.
