Anger and Emotional Regulation

Challenge

• Do you constantly yell, find yourself throwing things, storming out of the room or being overly critical of others?
• Do you often react out of proportion to the situation or seemingly have a short fuse compared to others?
• Do you have difficulty controlling your emotions when overwhelmed?
• Is your anger getting you into trouble at work, home or with the law?

Anger and emotions are a normal part of the human reaction system, but become a problem when not managed properly. Everyone gets angry, teary or emotional, and sometimes expressing strong feelings is important to deal with the situation. Where these emotions are expressed in a harmful way, or persist over a long period of time, however, it can lead to problems at home, work and life.
