Anger
Transforming anger into healthy emotional expression through evidence-based treatment
What is Anger?
Anger is a normal, adaptive emotional response to perceived threats, injustice, or frustration. It becomes problematic when it is frequent, intense, or poorly controlled, leading to aggressive behavior, relationship damage, or impairment in daily functioning. While expressing anger is a healthy part of communication, chronic anger or explosive anger episodes may indicate underlying issues that benefit from professional intervention. Understanding the roots of anger and developing healthy coping strategies is essential for emotional wellbeing.
