Material Detail

Depending on your needs, you may choose to work with a counselor or counseling group to get control of your anger, or you may be able to do the work on your own using one of the self-study resources available.

A word of caution is important here. Research shows again and again that it is hard to change habitual behavior, and that it is easier to make and sustain real changes in behavior when you have a good support group. For this reason, if you are really serious about changing the way you handle anger, you are likely to be better off participating in a formal anger management program than taking the self-study approach. A formal program provides structure to guide your change process, helps motivate you to continue to work when you might otherwise want to quit, and helps you recognize and be proud of the progress you make.

The following is a brief overview of the types of anger management programs and resources available.
