You already know that Anger is a powerful emotion.

Do you know how to control that emotion or does it get out of your control causing you to lash out?

Perhaps you try so hard to control your anger that you won’t even acknowledge it. That causes you to put up with things that shouldn’t be tolerated.

Anger isn’t the problem, problem behaviour is the problem.

Anger is an emotion that gets a bad reputation because without control it can lead to explosive outbursts of abuse or aggression. That isn’t acceptable in our society and lashing out at others will lead to trouble. 

If you let your anger get out of control you can cause harm to yourself and others. 

Do you have a problem with Anger Management?

Answer these three questions to find out.

• Do you find yourself feeling angry or frustrated a lot of the time?
• Does your anger get out of control and you say and do things that you didn’t intend to but felt like you couldn’t stop yourself?
• Do you fear expressing your anger and hold it in or pretend that nothing is wrong, even when it means that problems don’t get discussed or resolved over a long period of time?

If you answered yes to any of these questions you may have a problem with anger.

Too much or too little control over your emotions is likely to be a problem for you.

Is controlling your emotions at the moment something that seems just too hard?

Emotionally unbalanced?

Our emotions are our unconscious guidance system. That’s why there are more “negative” and less positive emotions on the chart. They are designed to get our attention so that we can respond and get back to the good stuff.

There is help available if you are caught up in the sadness to fearful emotional range.
