Anger is a very focused and energizing feeling, and it has its purposes – for example, it could save our lives as a combat element of our natural survival mechanism.

And while anger can be a real buzzkill, there are tips we can share with our anger management clients who are looking for additional help controlling their anger, and I'll share a few of them in this video.

I also talk more about CBT and whether our thoughts come before our feelings, and why this is important when dealing with anger. I will also give you 3 CBT techniques for clients who manage anger.
