To be angry is to revenge the faults of others upon ourselves.
– Alexander Pope
One out of five Americans has an anger management problem. Anger is a natural human emotion and is nature’s way of empowering us to “ward off” our perception of an attack or threat to our well-being. The problem is not anger; the problem is mismanagement of anger. Mismanaged anger is a major cause of conflict in our personal and professional relationships. Because anger is accompanied by physiological and biological changes such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, and adrenaline, we can all benefit from learning to identify and manage our anger.
