The nature of anger.
We all know what anger is, and we have all felt it at one time or another. It might
have been just a feeling of annoyance or quite possibly a full-blown rage.
Anger is a completely normal, healthy human emotion. It is only when it gets out
of hand and turns destructive that it becomes problematic. Uncontrolled anger or
rage, can impact negatively on your work, your personal relationships, and the
overall quality of your life.
Studies have shown that extreme anger can be caused by either external or internal
events. For example, you can be angry at specific personsuch as a co-worker, or
you may work up a rage becauseyou are stuck in a traffic jam. You could also
become angry if you brood and worry about personal problems.
Unresolved traumatic events from the past are also likely to trigger angry
responses in certain circumstances.
Somepeople are more volatilethan others.
There are people who get angry easier and more intensely than others do. Here are
some reasons why anger levels may differ from personto person.
 Research has indicated that people who are easily angered usually have a low
tolerance of frustration, inconvenience, and annoyance.
 Another reason may be a genetic disposition. There is evidence that some children
are born irritable, touchy, and prone to get angry quickly, signs which are present
from a very early age.

 Studies have also shown that people from a dysfunctional family background
which is disruptive, chaotic, and without emotional support, also have a short fuse
and are very easily angered.
Most people who fly into angry feelings, mainly becauseof minor reasons, have
problems realizing that getting angry at the drop of a hat, will not fix anything.
They end up being more frustrated and usually feeling worse than before the angry
outburst.
Venting your anger.
There is a schoolof thought that encourages people to let angry feelings just run
out and vent your anger on what, or who has triggered the feelings – which they
claim will make you feel better. However, mental health experts agree that this is
dangerous advice, as it only escalates anger and aggression. The experts also
maintain that it only adds to the lack of control and the irrational responses to
angry feelings.
Although the instinctive way to react to anger is to be aggressive, one cannot
simply lash out at every person or object which irritates or annoys us. There are
limits on how far anger can go.
Angry people tend to jump to – and act on – conclusions which are often very
inaccurate, and inevitably land up in a very heated discussionwhich adds fuel to a
fire that may not even be burning yet.

Studies have provided evidence that the key to coping with irrational responses to
anger or rage is to find out what triggers the anger and then developing ways to
keep those feelings from pushing you over the edge.
It is recommended that the best way to do this is by means of Adelaide
Hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
How this treatment can help you.
 Hypnotherapy by a qualified, experienced therapist is able to access the
subconscious mind when you are in a relaxed state and help to identify where the
harmful thoughts causing the extreme anger are originating.
 By means of positive suggestions, the therapist will begin to eliminate these
thoughts and replace them with new, positive thought patterns.
 The goal of hypnotherapy and CBT, a powerful combination, is to reduce the
emotional and physical feelings that respond to anger causes.
 CBT is a short term therapy that is able to help folk find new ways to behave by
changing harmful, negative thought patterns.
 Hypnosis, NLP, and enhanced CBT is based on the conceptthat thoughts, feelings,
and physical sensations are inter-connected, and which can trap you in an
unhealthy cycle if not treated.
 You will learn how to create a new mindset to help improve the way that you feel.
The treatment can help you find practical ways to improve your state of mind on a
daily basis.
