Anger management is the process of feeling anger, recognizing its intensity, and taking steps to better manage those negative feelings.
Anger is more than an emotion; it can cause biological changes like an increased heart rate, spike in blood pressure, and surging “energy” hormones. Expressing your anger in an explosive way is harmful to others, and internalizing your anger is harmful to you.
Anger management helps you learn how to respond to anger and express your feelings in a healthy way, without hurting yourself or others.
Who needs anger management?
Anger management can be helpful to anyone who struggles with anger. Both children and adults experience anger problems. Some signs that you might need anger management are:
- Feeling angry most or much of the time
- Angry outbursts that you can’t control
