Anger management is the process of learning to recognize signs that you’re becoming angry, and taking action to clam down and deal with the situation in a productive way. Anger management doesn’t try to keep you from feeling anger or encourage you to hold it in. Anger is a normal, healthy emotion when you know how to express it appropriately – anger management is about learning how to do this.

If you have an angry personality and are someone who is easily provoked, the most important step in anger management is admitting this and taking responsibility for your behaviour.
