Everyone experiences anger in different ways depending on individual differences, life experiences and their personal beliefs and world view. Some people find that their anger has caused them serious problems as they feel unable to control it or behave in an aggressive manner.  \nWhy do I get angry?  \nIn life there are various things that irritate or annoy us, other peoples behaviours can cost us either financially or emotionally or rules are broken (actual or personal) that can lead to us feeling angry or irritated. For the majority of people they are able to manage these feelings of anger so that their response is relevant to the situation. In some cases however the anger becomes a problem as it is too strong, happens too often, lasts too long or in extreme cases leads to aggression and violence. It is important for people to recognise what things make them angry so that they can either avoid these things or plan to respond to them in a different way.  \nNote: Anger can be a positive emotion as it can motivate us to do things, makes us feel alert and also informs others if their behaviour has affected you in a negative way.  \nCan I control my anger?  \nMany people experiencing anger problems feel that they have no control over it. Control is possible and this manual can show you techniques to gain more control however the individual must choose to use the skills and practice them until they become second nature. Even people who have anger problems display control for the majority of the time as they are not angry 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The fact that you are reading this workbook suggests you would like to take control, read on to learn how to do this.  \nSelf checklist  \nDo you have problems with anger?  \nIf you have a problem with anger you probably already know it, but these are some of the signs that you may have difficulty controlling anger. Place a tick next to those you experience regularly:  \nHow you feel  \n□ Anger or rage  \n□ Irritable at the slightest thing  \n□ Restless, on edge, uptight  \n□ Flashes of rage  \nWhat you do  \n□ Snappy and irritable behaviour  \n□ Shout and argue  \n□ Hit out  \n□ Flashes of rage  \n□ Leave the situation  \n□ Throw/hit an object, slam door,□ Attack someone  \n□ Say something unkind  \n□ Cry  \n□ Push someone  \n□ Everything seems like  \n□ Do nothing, bottle it up  \n□ Get drunk/smoke/take drugs  \n□ Hurt yourself  \nCommon Thoughts  \n□ “You/they have ruined everything”  \n□ “You/they have madea fool of me”  \n□ “If you don’t do something I’ ll explode”  \n□ “You/they deserve this”  \n□ “You/they let me down”  \n□ “I can’t trust anyone”  \n□ “You are never there for”  \nme  \nWhat happens to your body  \n□ Heart pounds, races, or skips a beat,  \n□ Chest feels tight  \n□ Stomach churns  \n□ Legs go weak  \n□ Tense muscles  \n□ Go very hot  \n□ Having to go to the toilet  \n□ Sweating  \n□ Head buzzing, pounding  \nIf you are regularly experiencing some or all of these signs then you may have a difficulty with anger control. The following sections may help you to tackle this problem.  \nVicious circles of anger  \nIn order to understand your own anger better it is important to appreciate the various aspects that influence our feelings of anger. The diagram below demonstrates the interaction between our mood, thoughts, physical reactions, behaviour and external events:  \nBehaviour  \nAttack/argue Damage things Walk away  \nThoughts  \nAngry “hot”thoughts  \ni.e.“no-one talks to me like that”  \nThoughts  \nAngry “hot”thoughts  \ni.e.“no-one talks to me like that”  \nMood  \nIrritable Angry Enraged  \nAll of these aspects can affect each other and maintain the anger cycle. Our angry behaviour can cause anger responses from others, our physical clues can make us feel out of control and our thoughts can heighten our moods.  \nActi","cbCaiawU5T8O2brL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiawU5T8O2brL","pdf",730946,22,"English","# What is anger?\n# Why do I get angry?\n# Can I control my anger?\n# Self checklist\n## How you feel\n## What you do\n## Common Thoughts\n## What happens to your body\n# Vicious circles of anger\n# What makes you angry","[{\"question\":\"What is anger, and is it always harmful?\",\"answer\":\"Anger is a healthy human emotion that can help in threatening situations.
