From road rage to the bullying boss, we have grown accustomed to seeing anger in its many forms. If we know how to manage anger it can be a useful, even motivational, emotion that encourages us to support a cause or achieve great things. Often though, anger is a destructive force in our lives, causing us to strike out at our friends, employees and loved ones leaving a trail of hurt and tears in our wake.
How to Deal with Anger
One of the first ways to deal with anger is to discover where it comes from and what triggers it. Simple things from our daily lives may be triggering our anger, but the source of that anger may be reactivity that has been conditioned in our past. While we still have to identify the triggers, once the source of our anger is identified, we can then work on ways to manage it.
How to Get Rid of Anger
Once we have identified what causes our anger, we can work on learning how it interferes in our relationships and how to control it. A therapist can help you manage your triggers and learn new strategies to interrupt the escalation of your anger. This will enhance your ability to negotiate your needs more effectively in all your relationships.
