Anger Management
Anger is probably the most poorly handled emotion in our society. From time to time, all of us experience this powerful feeling.
Some of the most common causes of anger include: hurt; frustration; annoyance; harassment; disappointment; and threats.
Anger can be our friend or enemy; it depends on the way in which we choose to express it. Knowing how to recognize and express it appropriately can help us to reach our goals, solve problems, handle emergencies, and protect our health. A failure to recognize and understand one's anger can lead to a variety of personal difficulties.
Concerns that you may have about anger and its management, can be addressed by contacting staff at the Counselling Service. Another useful contact for men concerned about controlling their anger is the Men's Referral Service.
