Counselling and CBT can help you manage your response and regain control. [Find Your Therapist](/find-your-therapist)[Get in Touch](/contact) ## Understanding Anger Our counsellors understand that it's normal to feel irritation or annoyance at times. It's a natural human response to certain life experiences. People often feel anger in response to believing they are being attacked, judged, insulted or frustrated. It becomes a problem when it's triggered too easily and provokes an extreme response, harming you or the people around you. Difficulties with anger often relate to how we've learned to manage strong emotions. Anger, like all emotions, involves physiological and chemical changes in the body. Unresolved anger can lead to high blood pressure, heart attack, depression and anxiety. When anger gets out of control, it can be destructive and significantly impact your quality of life — affecting your career, your relationships and overall wellbeing. Anger can range from irritability through to rage. In general, any form of anger is caused by the belief that life is unfair and/or someone has violated our internal beliefs about how someone 'should' or 'should not' behave. ![Anger Management](/assets/anger-management-hero-new-DqJcNt07.jpg) ## Signs You May Need Help with Anger You may benefit from anger management counselling if you recognise some of the following patterns in yourself: ### Losing your temper easily Small frustrations lead to disproportionate outbursts ### Physical tension Clenching fists, jaw tightness, racing heart when annoyed ### Saying hurtful things Lashing out verbally at loved ones or colleagues ### Feeling out of control Struggling to calm down once anger takes hold ### Regret after outbursts Feeling guilty or ashamed about your reactions ### Damaged relationships Friends, family or partners walking on eggshells around you ### Road rage or aggression Reacting aggressively to minor provocations ### Using alcohol or substances Turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms ### Withdrawal Bottling up anger until it eventually explodes ## How Anger Management Counselling Can Help While you may not be able to control every situation that triggers anger, you can learn to manage how you respond.
