Let's Talk about Anger

---

Anger is a natural human emotion — but when it feels intense, uncontrollable, or constant, it can harm relationships, health, and self-esteem. Unmanaged anger often hides deeper emotions like fear, hurt, or shame. The DSM-5 notes that difficulties with impulse control, irritability, and emotional regulation can appear in various conditions, including mood and stress-related disorders.

Counseling can help you understand what’s behind your anger and teach you healthy, effective ways to express and manage it.

Ask yourself:

• 😠 Do you often feel irritable, frustrated, or “ready to snap” over small things?
   
• 💢 Do you say or do things in anger that you later regret, like yelling, slamming doors, or withdrawing completely?
   
• 🧠 Do you feel your body tense up — heart racing, fists clenching, muscles tightening — when upset?
   
• 💔 Has your anger hurt your relationships, career, or self-image?
   
• 🌪️ Do you feel out of control when angry, or struggle to calm down even after the situation passes?
   
• 🕯️ Do you notice your anger masking deeper emotions, like sadness, fear, or rejection?
   

If you answered “yes” to some of these, it may be time to explore what your anger is trying to tell you — and how to respond differently.
