ANGER MANAGEMENT COUNSELLING | Barrie, ON
Anger can get the best of us, hurting ourselves and others around us...
When you think of anger management, what comes to your mind? Often anger management is an ultimatum from a spouse, boss, or even the court to get help.
It doesn’t feel good to be told to do something. Yet continuing in uncontrolled anger could cause lasting damage to our relationships, our jobs, our entire life.
Ways anger management affects you:
Your health is affected
When you are angry, you increase hormones like cortisol. Your blood pressure rises, and you may notice sudden headaches.
It can increase chances of heart disease. It can wear and tear at your liver and kidneys.
You lose out professionally
When you are lashing out with aggression, you are not heard. People lose respect for you. You may find yourself regretting things you’ve said to your boss or colleagues. Anger without restraint can cripple your ability to make good relationships at work.
People important to you are in distress
A poll in UK recorded that 1/3 of people say that have a close friend who has trouble controlling their anger.
Out of these, 20% had ended a relationship because of how someone behaves when they are angry.
You are in trouble with the law
It is embarrassing when it gets to the point where the law has to intervene. It could get progressively more aggressive and lead you to do something that is against the law. This can have long-term consequences.
The turning point: You can re-train your brain for healthier habits.
Studies have shown that with practice it is possible to re-train our brains, actually changing neuropathways. That means over time and with practice it is possible to get control of the anger responses. You can choose your response instead of your anger overtaking you. Wouldn't you rather be in control?
