Anger is a fearful emotion that hides through violence. Anger is a blinding force that needs an expressive outlet where the root of the problem can emerge. People don’t think rationally when fierce anger sets in and problems such as child abuse or domestic violence are unmistakable signs of a need to control anger issues. Dealing with anger and learning effective techniques to relieve stress through anger management problems will make a difference.
