Anger management help from the experts

• Recognizing anger.  Anger is a normal human emotion, so there's no need to feel ashamed or guilty about it.  Don't forget to pay attention to the signs of "hidden" anger such as tensed muscles and feelings of frustration or depression.
• Identify the cause. Other times, the cause of your anger may not be what it seems at first.  For example, you break your pencil because the lead breaks.  But you're really angry at yourself for not studying for the test.
• Decide what to do.  Decide which options will resolve the problem or situation that caused your anger.  Take positive steps to implement your options.
• Communicate your anger.  Calm down.  Don't get personal.  Don't avoid the issue.  Seek help.

Tips to help release anger shared from psychologist:

1.  Give yourself permission to express anger.  It's not wrong to express anger, sadness or rage; it is healthy to release these emotions regularly.  What's wrong is when we hurt someone in the process says a psychologist.

2.  Never hurt others in the process.  Remember: Never hurt yourself and never aim your anger literally at another person.  Give yourself the opportunity to express anger in a safe way, without hurting anyone else.  Some people express their anger by having a private room to pound pillows with their fist or legs.  Some people may prefer ripping pages of paper and screaming.

3.  Totally let go, without hesitation.  If you don't have a private room in your house, may be you can find a secluded area, where no one will hear or see you.  Try scaling the PLDT Tower and scream yourself hoarse on its peak.

4.  Strive to forgive.  The final step in maintaining anger-release is to truly forgive the person who wronged you as well as to truly forgive yourself.

5.  Combine mental and physical effort.  The most effective process is when you can combine both mental and physical effort.  This is when you do a particular, physical activity along with the mental intention of releasing the anger.
