What is Anger?
Anger is a natural emotion characterized by feelings of displeasure and hostility. While normal in moderation, excessive or uncontrolled anger can be detrimental to one's health and relationships.
How it Negatively Affects Your Life:
Unmanaged anger can lead to conflicts in personal and professional relationships, causing isolation and stress. Chronic anger contributes to physical health issues such as hypertension, heart disease, and weakened immune response. It can also result in destructive behaviors, such as substance abuse and aggressive actions, further complicating one's life.
How Treatment Helps:
Anger management therapy focuses on identifying triggers, developing coping strategies, and improving emotional regulation. Techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and relaxation exercises help individuals control their anger responses. Therapy also enhances communication skills, enabling healthier interactions and reducing the negative impact of anger on life and relationships.
