Stress and Anger

Stress and anger are the two principal factors that can precipitate an inappropriate act of violence towards another person. Family members, friends, co-workers, employees or employers, business associates or even strangers can be the victims of this behavior.

While anger is a natural human emotion, it can sometimes get out of control and result in destructive interpersonal relationships, workplace issues, legal issues, and a less than desirable quality of life. Exhibiting anger can place you in harm's way and can create a serious disruption in normal relationships.

Instinctively, one's immediate reaction to anger is to respond aggressively. You cannot control what other people say, however, you can control your responses to what they say.

Anger Management classes teach you in a simple and effective way to control your responses by giving you the knowledge and understanding of your stress and anger, by enhancing your communication skills and by improving your emotional intelligence. Anger is a learned behavior rather than a mental or nervous disorder. Learned behavior which produces inappropriate responses needs to be unlearned or over-ridden by new learning.
