UNDERSTANDING ANGER
What Is Anger Management?
Anger is a normal human emotion — it 
becomes challenging when it starts to 
feel overwhelming or out of control. 
Anger management focuses on 
learning to recognize and respond to 
anger differently.

uncontrollable
• Happens very quickly or frequently
• Affects relationships or 
communication
• Leads to regret, guilt, or shame
• Creates problems at work or home

How Anger Can Build

changing it.
