Holding On to Anger Is a Choice

I’ve worked with hundreds of individuals who sought help for anger management. They were referred by the courts, by supervisors, by friends or by a significant other. Some seemed to have no remorse about their behavior. And others came on their own volition, recognizing the negative impact it had on their lives. They were often burdened by guilt and shame regarding anger. Many of these clients evidenced trait anger, a chronic disposition for anger arousal that informed their personality.
