Anger management techniques

Most of us are often faced with stressful situation that we may not realize at times it provokes our anger.

Relaxation exercises Example : breathing exercise and listening to soothing melodies could help 4. Evaluate or list down the events that causes your anger and how do you deal with it 5. Pausing . This is what you want to do when you feel angry: you want to pause, even if just for a couple of seconds, before you say or do anything. When we pause, we are allowing ourselves to respond appropriately to a situation, rather than reacting and doing something that we might regret later. 6. Seek for further counselling
