Manage anger

What is anger?

Anger is an aroused state in which the mind's attention is focussed on a potential threat and the body responds by getting ready to run or fight. Adrenaline and other stress hormones run round the body, heart rate and blood pressure rise, breathing gets deeper and faster, blood is diverted from the organs to the muscles, and the whole organism gets ready for action. At the same time, thinking becomes more primitive and modern intelligence, a significant part of what makes us human, disappears. It is a primal, energised state, similar in many ways to sexual arousal, so it can be quite addictive.

What can be done?

The first step is to find out what is causing the angry behaviour. Anger doesn’t just happen; it is a response to something in the environment. So, what is triggering it? Is it related to previous traumatic events that need to be de-traumatised? If so, I can help you de-traumatise the memories, through guided imagery. This will help you to learn how to mange your emotional states once they begin and rehearse staying calm in situations which previously caused angry outbursts.
