What is Anger?
• Anger is ‘an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild
irritation to intense fury and rage.’
• Anger is a secondary emotion.
• Another emotion, such as fear, frustration, anxiety, sorrow, or
feeling diminished, inevitably precedes the experience of anger.
• Generally, anger replaces these primary emotions so quickly that
we never notice them. Beneath the primary emotions lie unmet
needs.
What is Anger Management?
To understand what anger management is, look at a famous phrase said by the
well-known Greek philosopher, Aristotle.
So, anger management
is all about learning to
be angry with the right
person, to the right
degree, at the right
time, for the right
purpose, and in the
right way.
Factors that Affect Anger in a Person
The following are some factors that can impact how we respond to conflict and
cause us to get angry:
Determining the best mode:
We develop an understanding of resolving
conflict with people through practice. We
use these to determine when to use anger
with the particular person with whom we
are in conflict.
Anger and Aggression
It is crucial that you know the difference between anger and aggression.
Anger is an emotion. It is ok to be angry.
Aggression is acting and letting out the anger inappropriately and
aggression is not ok. Learn to check your aggression and express your
anger appropriately.

Types of Anger
Self-inflicted Anger
Self-inflicted Anger:
• Self-inflicted Anger is the one that is directed toward a person’s own
body.
• Sometimes, people showing this type of anger tend to starve
themselves or eat too much.
• These are the people who believe in the idea of punishing their own
self for something wrong they have or others have done.
Steps for Anger Management
Step 12: Forgive and Forget
Step 12: Forgive and Forget
To ensure that the changes you are making go much deeper than the
surface, you need to forgive the people in your life that have angered you
and forget the issues you had with them. It is not easy letting go of past
hurts and resentments but the only way to move past your anger is to let go
of these feelings and start fresh.
