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.
Do I Struggle With Anger Management?
Here are some indicators from Symmetry Counseling that you may be struggling with anger management:
- You frequently experience outbursts of anger or aggression
- The trigger for these outbursts is often minor in comparison to the intensity of the reaction
- These episodes are typically preceded by a build-up of anxiety or stress
- You often feel unable to manage or control your anger
- You tend to feel regret, remorse, or distress following an angry episode
- During these episodes, you may have caused damage to objects or property
- You have made threats to the safety or well-being of yourself or others during angry moments
