Anger is a normal emotion that we experience as we come up against problems and obstacles in our life. It can get triggered by various things like stress, or when someone crosses a boundary, or perhaps when you feel you're not being listened to, understood or respected. However, anger only becomes a problem when it causes us to become aggressive - whether openly aggressive (where we lose control and express our anger through hurtful communication, shouting or even violence) or through passive aggression (where we might stop speaking to someone, giving them the silent treatment to punish them). The Anger Clinic programme will teach you how to process your anger first and then express it in a calm, clear and respectful way. When you learn to channel your anger in a healthy way it can become an incredibly helpful tool, allowing you to communicate your needs and helping you to improve your relationships and situation.
