Why Treat Anger
Anger is a healthy emotion when it is expressed appropriately.
When it is not, it can have devastating effects. Anger is at the
root of many personal and social problems, e.g., child abuse, domestic
violence, physical and verbal abuse, and community violence.
Problematic interpersonal relations may also disrupt
employment activities because of the interference of anger on workplace
performance.
Left unchecked, anger can destroy relationships, obstruct
problem solving skills, and increase social withdrawal.
Anger also effects our physical health. For example,
it can tax our immune system, contribute to headaches and migraines,
severe gastrointestinal symptoms, hypertension, and coronary artery
disease.
Anger management counselling gives you the opportunity
to learn more about your anger. The way we feel or express ourselves
in our daily lives can sometimes be linked to feelings and emotions
that we experienced in our past. By exploring this connection in
the counselling process, clients gain an awareness and understanding
of where their anger originates.
Anger gives us energy; learning how to express this
energy in positive ways will help you to manage and communicate
your anger effectively.
