Many people have difficulty managing their angry feelings. This can lead to difficulties in their relationships with others and can even result in acts of aggression and physical violence. Needless to say this can often cause many more problems than it solves, even though aggression or violence can sometimes make us feel better in the short term.

Before we begin learning how to manage anger let’s think about what causes it – where anger comes from. Understanding what anger is, how it begins and the part we play in our angry feelings we’ll be much better equipped to deal with it.
