Everyone knows what anger is. We've all felt it at one time or another, be it a minor, passing annoyance or a full-on all-out rage. Anger is a normal emotion, and most of the time, it's a healthy one. It becomes a problem when it gets out of control and consumes you to the point that it's all you can think about. It becomes a problem when it becomes destructive and causes problems in your work and personal life. And, if you let anger control you, you become the prisoner of powerful, unpredictable emotions.

Anger management is about learning to control how you react to situations that provoke your anger, including your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Overcoming anger is about learning to move on from what triggers you, no matter how hard it may be, and it will involve the painful exercise of having to go back to what started it and relive it before you can put it behind you.
