What causes anger and aggression?
Anger is a normal human emotion. It's a response to feeling threatened, frustrated, or wronged. Aggression is a behavior that is intended to cause harm to another person or thing. While anger is a normal emotion, aggression is not. Aggression can be physical, verbal, or even psychological.

- Proactive anger is planned and deliberate. It is often used to achieve a specific goal, such as gaining power or control.
There are also two main types of aggression: physical aggression and verbal aggression.

How to identify your anger triggers

How to develop coping mechanisms for anger and aggression
Once you know your anger triggers, you can start to develop coping mechanisms for dealing with them.
Some helpful coping mechanisms include:
- Taking a break: If you feel yourself getting angry, take a break from the situation. Go for a walk, listen to music, or read a book.
- Talking to someone: Talk to a friend, family member, or therapist about how you're feeling. Talking about your anger can help you to process it and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
- Exercising: Exercise is a great way to release pent-up anger and frustration. Go for a run, swim, or bike ride.
- Writing: Writing about your anger can help you to understand it and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Keep a journal or write letters to yourself or to the people who have made you angry.
- Meditation: Meditation can help you to calm down and relax. There are many different types of meditation, so find one that works for you and practice it regularly.
How to build healthier relationships with the people around you
If you struggle with anger and aggression, it's important to build healthier relationships with the people around you. This will help you to avoid conflicts and maintain positive relationships.
Here are some tips for building healthier relationships:
- Communicate effectively: Talk to your loved ones about your feelings and needs. Use "I" statements to express your feelings and avoid blaming others.
- Set boundaries: Let your loved ones know what behaviors are unacceptable and what consequences will occur if they cross those boundaries.
- Be forgiving: Everyone makes mistakes. If someone wrongs you, try to forgive them. Holding on to anger will only hurt you in the long run.
- Seek professional help: If you're struggling to control your anger and aggression on your own, seek professional help. A therapist can help you to understand your anger and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Anger and aggression are common problems, but they can be overcome. With the right help, you can learn how to control your anger and aggression, and build healthier relationships with the people around you.
If you're struggling with anger and aggression, don't give up. There is hope. With the right help, you can take control of your anger and aggression, and build a better life for yourself and the people around you.
