What is anger management?

Anger is a completely normal human emotion. But when it is not managed properly, it can lead to problems at work, in personal relationships, and in your overall quality of life. It can also make you feel as though you're at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion. Like other emotions, anger is accompanied by physiological and biological changes; when you get angry, your heart rate and blood pressure go up, as well as certain hormones and adrenaline.

Anger is a natural response to what we perceive as threats, and it often inspires powerful and aggressive feelings.  These feelings help us to defend ourselves when we are attacked. But when anger isn't allowed a healthy outward expression, it can quickly turn inward, and may cause hypertension, high blood pressure, or depression.

At Phoenix Ascent we specialize in providing our clients with anger management tools that help them control their emotional responses, and create the healthy expressions of anger that put them back in control of their lives.  The benefits of anger management are many, ranging from the creation of a happier outlook on life to avoiding the debilitating physical side effects caused by unmanaged anger.  You can't get rid of — or avoid — the things or people that anger you, but you can learn to control your reactions. Phoenix Ascent can help.
