Anger is a natural emotion and is experienced by everyone. For some people, however, anger is a difficult emotion to cope with. When anger becomes an issue it can affect all aspects of people’s lives. If you feel that you would like to be able to manage your anger, perhaps an Anger Management course might be of help to you.

When does anger become a problem?
Anger becomes a problem when it is felt too intensely, is felt too frequently, or is expressed inappropriately. When anger is a problem, it can lead to violent and/or abusive behaviour and has a very negative effect on all relationships.
