Understanding and managing anger
We all have triggers for our anger, things that make us snappy or lash out aggressively such as maybe a person pushing in front of a queue or feeling we’re being ignored. Understanding what these triggers are and re-examining our thoughts around them can be the first steps to understanding and managing anger. We can begin to understand what we’re really feeling and address it more appropriately.
Anger is perhaps the most frightening of emotions. We hate being shouted at, we feel intimidated by others being aggressive towards us. We even fear our own anger as sometimes we don’t know how to control it or where it will lead us.
Anger is also a misunderstood emotion. It doesn’t have to be aggressive or destructive. An example I like to use is during the 1980’s millions of people all over the world got angry and in 1990 Nelson Mandela was released from prison. Anger is our way of telling us something isn’t right, something is threatened or wrong. It can be a positive force for change if managed and expressed appropriately.
If you struggle with managing your anger contact Sentient Counselling for information on anger management or to make an appointment.
