Everyone occasionally gets angry and anger is a normal, natural emotional reaction to the things that happen: to you, around you, to someone you care for. Anger is a normal, natural emotion – unless the result of your anger is such that your reaction becomes uncontrollable, violent, or destructive.

Course Lessons

Lesson 1 - The Basics of Anger - Anger is a normal, natural emotion, and without it we would be less able to defend ourselves when needed. However, our physical reaction to anger and the way we express anger can become a problem for some.
Lesson 2 - Area Responses to Anger - Anger is an emotion that elicits responses from three areas. There are physical responses to anger, physiological responses to anger, and cognitive responses to anger.
Lesson 3 - Identifying Anger - Recognizing your anger requires you to do a little self-exploration to determine what kinds of things make you angry, how you have been taught to handle anger, and why you feel provoked to anger in certain circumstances.
Lesson 4 - Controlling Anger - Repressing anger is not the same as calming yourself in a positive way and working through your anger. Repressed anger can manifest itself in both psychological and physical ways and can cause stress, high blood pressure, and frustration.
Lesson 5 - Developing Empathy - Empathy is having the ability to feel or understand what someone else is feeling. By developing your ability to feel empathy, you may be able to diffuse your anger and angry reactions, because you will understand what the other person is feeling.
Lesson 6 - Passive Aggressive Behavior - Passive aggressive behavior is a coping mechanism that people use to handle their anger. On the outside, they seem friendly, cooperative, and willing, but on the inside they are seething and resort to sabotage.
Lesson 7 - Stress - Stress is the mental and physical reactions to the daily pressures of life. The relationship between stress and anger is undeniable. There are things you can do to reduce stress both mentally and physically.
Lesson 8 - Anger in Key Relationships - The people we love the most are often also the ones who anger us the most. We can have angry feelings toward parents, children, siblings, and spouses. Open communication is the most important way to handle anger in your closest relationships.
Lesson 9 - Professional Help - Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we are unable to handle anger on our own. When that happens, seek a licensed professional counselor or anger therapist to help you learn effective ways to manage your anger.
Lesson 10 - Breathing and Relaxation Exercises - Breathing exercises can make you dizzy or lightheaded, so be careful and use caution. If a specific exercise recommends sitting to perform it, it is important that you comply.
