How to effectively manage anger

Anger is a complex emotion, often misunderstood and challenging to navigate. While it can be a healthy response to injustice or a signal that something needs to change, it can also become overwhelming, causing friction in relationships and personal distress. For some, anger is a constant irritant, leaving them frustrated and isolated. Others might struggle to connect with their anger, which can result in feelings of helplessness, depression, or anxiety. When anger is directed inward, it can lead to self-criticism and emotional pain. Fortunately, several therapeutic approaches offer effective ways to address these challenges.
