Introduction to Anger Management

Anger is a natural emotion; however, it can quickly become a problem that is present in your daily life, even affecting your relationships with those around you. Not only can anger disrupt your personal time and work but it can also hurt you when you are least expecting it. Anger can easily rear its ugly head in the least expected and most uncommon types of situations; particularly when you do not have control of it. Most people do not want to be considered an angry person; they simply feel as though they have no control over their anger. Something occurs to incite their anger and they automatically respond. In some cases people might not even realize they are angry until something occurs to trigger a rapid change in mood. If this has occurred to you, you may feel as if there is no way to correct the root cause of the problem because you are not even sure where it stems from. The primary underlying source of all anger is usually fear. If you experience difficulty in managing your anger, fear is usually the source of the problem.
