Anger is a normal, healthy emotion. But it’s unhealthy when it flares up all the time or spirals out of control. Chronic, explosive anger has serious consequences for your relationships, your health, and your state of mind. The good news is that getting anger under control is easier than you think. With insight about the real reasons for your anger and these anger management tools, you can learn to keep your temper from hijacking your life.

The emotion of anger is neither good nor bad. Like any emotion, it’s conveying a message, telling you that a situation is upsetting, or unjust, or threatening. If your kneejerk reaction to anger is to explode, however, that message never has a chance to be conveyed.

So, while it’s perfectly normal to feel angry when you’ve been mistreated or wronged, anger becomes problematic when you express it in a way that harms yourself or others.

If you have a hot temper, you may feel like it’s out of your hands and there’s little you can do to tame the beast.

You have more control over your anger than you think. You can learn to express your emotions without hurting others.
