If you are struggling with managing your anger, you have come to the right place. In coping with anger, it can be helpful to understand the nature of anger. Anger is like an umbrella for other emotions. Underneath this umbrella of anger are often feeling states that are more difficult to identify and express such as hurt, fear, grief, vulnerability, shame and anxiety. Anger often results from unmet needs that may originate as far back as childhood. Certain situations, people, and circumstances can trigger feelings of anger and this can feel sudden, overwhelming, intense, and unpredictable. On the other hand, anger sometimes feels like a lingering irritation just below the surface that never quite goes away. My intention for you in anger-management counselling, is that you will develop a sense of control over your anger and gain confidence in your abilities to work through conflict.
