Anger is a natural emotion, but when it becomes frequent or uncontrollable, it can negatively affect relationships, work, and overall well-being. Anger management therapy offers an opportunity to explore the deeper causes of anger and develop healthier ways to respond to triggers. Let’s delve into the underlying causes of anger that people experience.
What Are the Underlying Causes of Anger?
Anger often stems from unresolved emotions or situations. Some common underlying causes include:
- Past Trauma: Unprocessed experiences can resurface as anger when triggered by certain events or memories.
- Chronic Stress: Prolonged stress from work, relationships, or health concerns can build up and lead to frustration.
- Unmet Needs: Feeling unheard or unfulfilled in personal or professional life may contribute to irritability.
- Low Self-Esteem: Internal struggles with self-worth can manifest as outward anger toward others.
Understanding these root causes is essential to managing anger effectively.
