What can one do about intense hostility / anger?

Get therapy: Anger often results from frustration from: 1) not getting one's way; 2) difficulty reaching goals; 3) expectations exceeding reality; and 4) feeling disrespected. Sometimes pain can cause anger. Learning to deal with anger is a skill. Get involved in an anger management group and learn about the dysfunctional thoughts & emotional triggers that lead to anger. Learn new coping skills. Good luck!

Anger: One simple tip- count to ten before acting on the urge to impulsively harm someone physically or emotionally. Reduce anger by deep breathing. Breath in deeply ; slowly through the nostrils. Hold air in lungs for a 5 count before slowly exhaling through an open mouth. Repeat until you cool your jets. Focus on your breathing not what is making you angry. Cognitive behavioral therapy is excellent for.
