Anger is a natural human emotion, but uncontrolled anger can result in various issues and hurt both personal and professional aspects of our lives. Uncontrolled anger can take many forms, such as explosive outbursts, passive-aggressive behaviour, and prolonged resentment. It affects not only the person experiencing anger but also those around them.

HA Counselling Anger Management Therapy Services are designed to provide expert guidance and support, helping individuals regain control over their emotions and find healthier ways to express and manage their anger.

Understanding Anger and Why It Must Be Managed?

Anger is a universal emotion, a natural response to various triggers, including frustration, injustice, disappointment, or feeling threatened. When appropriately expressed and managed, anger can be a constructive force, propelling individuals to address issues and set boundaries. However, uncontrolled or excessive anger can harm one’s mental and physical health, relationships, and overall well-being.

Unmanaged anger can show in the following ways:

• Verbal Aggression: Yelling, screaming, or using hurtful words during conflicts.
• Physical Aggression: Engaging in physical altercations or damaging property in fits of rage.
• Passive-Aggressive Behaviour: Indirectly expressing anger through sarcasm, sulking, or withholding communication.
• Emotional Withdrawal: Becoming emotionally distant or shutting down during disagreements.
• Self-Harm: Performing self-destructive behavioursto manage anger.
