If this is you, you’ve likely experienced a lot of negative consequences from this behavior. And without intervention, matters will likely worsen and could potentially cause irreversible damage to your life and those around you. Unaddressed anger problems can lead to…

• Relationship strain with significant others, children, and family members: At its most extreme, it can result in domestic violence and battery charges with ensuing legal difficulties

• Friction at work in relationships with colleagues and bosses that can lead to write-ups, suspensions, or getting fired due to anger misconduct and behavioral issues

• Tarnished social reputation and image: You can get labeled as a “hothead” and become alienated from others who are uncomfortable being around you or are intimidated by your aggressive demeanor

• Health issues: Chronic anger issues can lead to problems with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, cardiovascular and blood pressure issues, headaches, strokes, weakening of the immune system over time, and even shorten one’s life span

• Child abuse, partner/spousal abuse, road rage, physical assault, trouble with the law…even murder!

Anger Management

It’s normal to get angry. It’s an emotional signal that something’s not right or there’s a threat or injustice of some kind. Often anger masks other underlying emotions or issues that need attention. It’s not that we get angry that’s the problem; it’s how we deal with it and how it gets expressed that’s important.
