WHAT IS ANGER?
Anger is a natural human response which is frequently in response to frustration, or of feelings that something important is being blocked or thwarted.

We all get angry. How we deal with anger is what anger management addresses. Actions such as violent responses to triggers are learned behaviors and can be unlearned.

This course will address the effects that uncontrolled anger has on your life, the lives of loved ones and all the people we interact with.
