On the surface, there’s nothing unhealthy about anger – it’s simply an emotion. The problem arises when people are unable to control their anger or when their anger leads to destruction. Many people who deal with these issues believe that there’s nothing that can be done. The truth is that anger counseling can be the answer they’re seeking.
Anger is just an emotion. Sometimes it’s nothing more than mild irritation and in other cases, it leads to intense rage. It results in changes both biological and physiological, such as heart rate and blood pressure increases. It’s caused by issues both inside a person and outside in their world. It can be directed at something specific or come from unidentified issues. Memories are also a common cause for people to become angry.
Everyone experiences anger and it’s not always a problem – unless it gets out of hand. An anger counselor can assess clients to measure their intensity of anger, how they handle their anger, and how often they experience anger. People who’ve felt out of control of their anger or frightened by it can seek help to get it under control.
