Anger is a normal feeling, to understand whether a person needs anger management counselling, it is useful to look at the effects of behaviour when feeling angry. How a person reacts when feeling angry shows their ability to cope and express feelings. It can have a large impact on how a person feels about themselves and can greatly affect other people.
Signs anger management may be useful could be noticing if angry feelings bubble up frequently, acts of violence, strain on relationships. A person might experience feeling out of control and guilty after an angry outburst.
Anger is often a symptom of other feelings, such insecurity, hurt, criticism.
