Anger is a feeling that makes your mouth work faster than your mind.

-Evan Esar

  It is not normal for anger to instigate hurtful or violent responses. Unfortunately, when people act out of anger, they unintentionally do things which later regret like insulting or physically hurting someone you care about. Such reactions to anger become more about emotional moments than about finding a solution that instigates anger. Anger in itself is not unhealthy, but when not managed tends to dominate preferences, and begins to influence life decisions. It is important to find the root cause of anger and emotional response wired to it. We believe gaining an understanding about anger related distress could help control over emotions, reaction to unfortunate events in a civilised manner and effectively control the flow of life. Anger instigates by internal or external factors. Internal factors largely include thought patterns, perceived failures and injustices, it leads to aggression. One can learn to take control over thoughts by practices which will be discussed in therapy. External events are unfortunate and upsetting incidents which are indirectly related to people in proximity, and outside of your area of influence. The things one can’t control are outside of their Area of influence and they have to make peace with it. Learning what is and what is not within your control is the first step of anger management therapy. The negative effects of anger have been observed throughout history, advice for countering seemingly uncontrollable rage has been offered by ancient philosophers. The roman philosopher Annaeus Seneca and Francis d’Assisi were practicing anger-management techniques to guide the noble personality. In modern times, controlling anger has been transformed to the anger management program. Classical therapy based on anger management intervention originated in the 1970’s. Generally, people show anger through aggression, which is a biological function of anger. It is an evolutionary response that helps prepare people to fight off threats like being hunted by wild animals or so. People who receive anger management therapy learn skills to slow their reaction to anger, this have helped them identify the reason for aggression and to react consciously. Our anger management therapist first tries to identify the triggers and physical emotional signs, recognising and managing these warning signs early is an important step in controlling anger. We pay attention to – Stressors: common triggers which worsen the anger, which include frustrations with the child or partner, financial stress, traffic issues or problems with co-workers. Physical signs: feelings of anger begin to interfere with your life, for eg- inadequate sleep, clenching your jaw, a spiky heart beat or driving too fast. Emotional signs: Rising anger would lead to yell at someone about something that has been holding in for a while now.

For every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
