Often, anger masks deeper layers:
Hurt, fear, betrayal, or shame
Unfulfilled emotional, relational, or physical needs
A sense of injustice or violation
Unresolved emotional wounds or past trauma
When left unchecked, mismanaged anger can damage mental health, strain relationships, and undermine your sense of self.
Here are practical steps you can try:
Pause & observe
Notice the heat rising. Name the emotion. Is it “anger” or is it layered with sadness, fear, or frustration?
Use your breath
A few slow, intentional breaths help calm your nervous system and allow your thinking brain to catch up.
Translate anger into needs or boundaries
Ask: What is this anger about? What do I need or want in this moment?
Use “I” statements
Express your inner experience without blame.
“I feel frustrated when I’m interrupted, because it makes me believe I’m not being listened to.”
Wait for calmer timing
If the moment is heated, pause. Return to it when you can speak from a grounded place.
Channel the energy constructively
Physical movement: walk, jog, stretch
Creative expression: writing, art, music
Reflective journaling
Reflect afterward
What triggered me? What calmed me? What might I do differently next time?
Seek deeper support
Anger may be tied to deeper beliefs or wounds. Counselling, hypnotherapy, and approaches like Anger Release Therapy (A.R.T.) can help you heal at root levels.

You may benefit from professional support if:
