Getting angry is a part of life. Though it is normal to have moments of anger where you may do or say something you regret, if this becomes common place you may need help.
Taking control over your emotions requires a strength of mind – in both acknowledging that you have a problem and then seeking help.
There are two types of anger: primary and secondary. Primary anger is considered a normal and appropriate human emotion, that is usually a response to a form of emotional or physical attack. This anger can be released healthily and to defend yourself. Releasing this anger appropriately is not a problem.
Secondary anger, however, is anger that overcomes you with its strength and does not go away. This anger is not defensive, but destructive.
Normal, primary anger may be fleeting such as a response of irritation to being interrupted or ignored. You move past the incidence after you experience the anger. However, sometimes people may feel incapable of expressing their anger or moving past it. This can result in danger for the angry person and the people around them, who are often people they care deeply about.
While changing how you feel may seem impossible, it is not. Be in charge of your emotions with Anger Management.
