Understanding Your Anger 1

Your anger doesn't define you. It's a signal. With the right support, you can learn to hear what it's telling you and respond with intention instead of reaction.

  • Understanding Anger Management

So today you find yourself angry, and tired of living life in agitation.

You weren’t always like this. You knew who you were and what you wanted, and you were content. Then something shifted. Your anger got harder to handle, and the cycle started to set in. You said things you couldn’t take back, and once it passed, you couldn’t find your way back to steady.

One bad day turns into a string of them, and now anger feels like the default. Your family and friends have started walking on eggshells, because they can feel when something’s about to set you off.

Who Benefits Most from Anger Management

Anger Management is for those who recognize that their negative reactions to life’s events are affecting their relationships.

You will benefit if:
  • Your relationships are strained and people around you are walking on eggshells
  • You take frustration out physically because it's hard to express what you're actually feeling
  • Your anger is showing up physically, in high blood pressure, fatigue, or body aches
  • You hardly recognize the person you've become, and you want to feel like yourself again
  • You want to be able to feel and express a full range of emotions in a healthy way
You might not be ready yet if:
  • severe mental illness
  • active substance abuse

If you're in crisis, we recommend outpatient services at a local program first. For substance concerns, see our Addiction page.

— we'll make sure you get the right support.
