    Understanding Anger

    Anger is a normal and healthy human emotion, and it can even be helpful — for example, it can signal when our boundaries have been crossed or something important needs our attention.

    However, anger can become problematic when it feels overwhelming, happens frequently, or is expressed in ways that hurt ourselves or others. For some people, this might look like intense outbursts, struggling to calm down, holding onto resentment for long periods, or experiencing ongoing irritability and tension. In some cases, anger might come out as aggressive behaviour, verbal or physical conflict, or difficulties in relationships, work, or general well-being.

    Counselling can help you explore the roots of your anger, learn healthier ways of expressing and managing it, and improve emotional balance and connection with others.

     

    Symptoms

    Symptoms of problematic anger can vary from person to person, but common signs may include:

    1. Frequent outbursts: Experiencing intense anger episodes more frequently than what is considered normal or proportional to the situation.

    2. Intense irritability: Feeling easily agitated, impatient, or constantly on edge, often reacting with anger to minor frustrations.

    3. Difficulty controlling anger: Struggling to manage or control anger, leading to impulsive or aggressive behavior that may be regretted later.

    4. Physical symptoms: Physical manifestations of anger, such as a rapid heartbeat, clenched fists, tense muscles, headaches, or an overall feeling of tension.

    5. Verbal or physical aggression: Engaging in aggressive behavior, either verbally (yelling, shouting, or using verbal threats) or physically (hitting objects, damaging property, or engaging in physical altercations).

    6. Holding grudges: Difficulty letting go of anger and holding onto resentment or grievances for extended periods, even after conflicts have ended.

    7. Relationship problems: Anger problems can strain relationships, leading to frequent arguments, conflicts, and difficulties in maintaining healthy connections with others.

    8. Impaired daily functioning: Anger problems can interfere with daily activities, work performance, and social interactions, causing disruptions in various areas of life.
