Anger Management Defined and Explained
Humans are unique in that our large prefrontal cortex allows us to engage in critical thought and reasoning, including the ability to evaluate and plan responses to situations or stimuli. We also have a powerful limbic system, including the amygdala, which governs our physical emotional reactions. In times of intense stress or frustration, one might feel highjacked by their emotions and act out angrily, causing verbal or physical damage to people, objects, or relationships.

Here are some indicators from Symmetry Counseling that you may be struggling with anger management:

- You experience a sense of relief after an outburst
- You feel genuinely regretful, remorseful, or upset after an outburst or anger attack
