Anger Management

Anger is defined in Webster's dictionary as "a feeling of displeasure resulting from injury, mistreatment, opposition, etc., and usually showing itself in a desire to fight back at the supposed cause of the feeling."

Anger management is:

• Being aware of your anger and underlying feelings
  
• Recognizing that the feeling of anger is as valid as any other emotion
  
• Learning the difference between between appropriate and inappropriate anger
  
• Learning how to express your feelings, including anger, appropriately
  
• Giving yourself time to see the situation clearly
  
• Communicating your thoughts in a non-threatening manner
  
• Recognizing that angry feelings don't have to lead to angry "acting-out" behavior
