Anger, though it is a natural emotion, may express itself in undesirable ways. Anger and high adrenaline triggers physiological reactions such as raised heart-beat, higher temperature and palpitations. Mounting anger can cause us to behave aggressively and inappropriately.

Anger-management therapists work with you to manage your anger levels and to minimize angry confrontation or self-harm.
