Everyday frustrations, impatience, and resentment can all cause your temper to flare. For many people, these are fleeting moments. They are able to take these situations in stride and quickly return to a sense of calm without exploding.
Expressed appropriately, anger can be healthy. It can protect you from dangerous situations, energize you to resolve problems, or lead to initiating reforms in society.
However if your blood boils after minor irritations – such as losing that coveted parking space – or if you are constantly seething, you may need to improve how you are managing anger. Anger that is out of control can be destructive, leading to problems in your relationships, at work, in your enjoyment of life, and with your health.
If your level of anger is high or you tend to express unhealthy aggression, you may need anger management counseling. Consider talking with an anger management counselor to better understand what’s driving your aggression and to learn how to handle your feelings in a healthier, more productive manner.
