Do you struggle with feelings of anger?
Feeling angry is a natural response to certain life experiences. It’s a basic emotion, occurring at times when we come under attack, feel deceived, insulted, or frustrated. When out of control, anger can become destructive. It can significantly impact your quality of life, affecting your relationships, your career, and overall wellbeing.
Aggression is in instinctive way to express anger, relating back to the ‘fight or flight’ reaction.
My aim is to help you to recognise the signs and be aware of your feelings to help manage your anger in future situations. I will also help you to cope with your anger and give advice on how to rebuild any damaged relationships.
