Stress and Anger

Stress is a normal component of our lives. We are all subject to it. And we all handle it differently. One of those ways is to use our learned behavior to become angry in an attempt to control our stress and to further control an otherwise uncontrollable event.

Most of the time the anger response is normal. However, when that anger gets out of control and leads to physical or mental abuse against another person it can lead to severe responses. The inappropriate behavior is all that is known.

That’s where Anger Management Training can help. We teach how to control stress and anger. In addition we work to improve the individual’s ability to communicate. Lastly, we explore and improve emotional intelligence or the understanding of not only our own emotions but those of the people with whom we share interpersonal relationships.

Therefore, by understanding our stress and anger responses, learning new responses and un-learning previously learned behavior the management of our anger becomes easier.
