Anger Management Program

Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns
destructive, it can lead to problems—problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall
quality of your life. And it can make you feel as though you're at the mercy of an unpredictable and
powerful emotion.

Our Program is meant to help you understand and control anger.
The goal of anger management is to reduce both your emotional feelings and the physiological arousal
that anger causes. You can't get rid of, or avoid, the things or the people that enrage you, nor can you
change them, but you can learn to control your reactions.

Are You Too Angry?

If you find yourself acting in ways that seem out of control and frightening, you might need help finding
better ways to deal with this emotion.

Why Are Some People Angrier Than Others?

What makes these people this way? A number of things. One cause may be genetic or physiological:
There is evidence that some children are born irritable, touchy, and easily angered, and that these signs
are present from a very early age. Another may be sociocultural. Anger is often regarded as negative;
we're taught that it's all right to express anxiety, depression, or other emotions but not to express anger.
As a result, we don't learn how to handle it or channel it constructively.

Research has also found that family background plays a role. Typically, people who are easily angered
come from families that are disruptive, chaotic, and not skilled at emotional communications.

Is It Good To "Let it All Hang Out?"

Psychologists now say that this is a dangerous myth. Some people use this theory as a license to hurt
others. Research has found that "letting it rip" with anger actually escalates anger and aggression and
does nothing to help you (or the person you're angry with) resolve the situation.

It's best to find out what it is that triggers your anger, and then to develop strategies to keep those
triggers from tipping you over the edge.
