Understanding Anger

Counselling for Anger Management

If you feel that anger is affecting the quality of your life and relationships, it is time to seek help. Anger — when not understood and managed properly — can have a serious detrimental impact on every area of life.

Is Anger Normal

A natural emotion — until it isn't

Anger is a normal human emotion. It is part of the human survival strategy and is often a reaction to threats — whether real or perceived — or frustration. Anger is designed to protect you from a situation that you might perceive as fearful, where you may be vulnerable or likely to get hurt.

What is designed to protect you can get out of control when it is not understood and managed properly. It can have a detrimental impact on your relationships at home, at work and in your social life. There is also a physical impact — sweating, muscle tension, teeth grinding. You can feel helpless when this powerful emotion takes hold of you.

Anger over a long period can also contribute to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, digestive problems, and a range of other physical health issues.

Why Do I Get Angry

Understanding your triggers

Our interaction with the world is based on our interpretations — shaped by our emotional make-up, our circumstances, and our past experiences. Anger is generally a response to a situation rather than the situation itself.

The trigger may not be obvious and may be representative of a larger unacknowledged problem. Unacknowledged or trapped emotion relating to events in our life can lead to anger. It is also possible that you may be reacting to the triggers but the root of it may be elsewhere — unconscious reactions are, by their very nature, not in your awareness.

Feeling misunderstood or treated unfairly
Having suffered a loss
Feeling undervalued or lacking confidence
Being a victim of a crime or other event
Unprocessed emotions from past experiences

Self-Help

Things you can try yourself

There are self-help strategies that can help in the short term: practising long and deep breathing, exercising regularly, and practising mindful living. These can reduce the intensity of anger episodes — but they rarely address the underlying cause.

How I Can Help

Anger management counselling

Initially, we can work on some coping strategies. To ground those strategies, we will need to look beyond the triggers and examine some of the unconscious drivers of your pattern of behaviour.

I will help you examine these patterns and process them at a pace that suits you — helping you understand and manage your anger rather than being controlled by it.
