See below: Anger is a response to a situation where we might feel out of control. Find out what triggers your anger. When feel angry, try to remove yourself from the situation, do deep breathing, even if avoiding the situation is not possible. Listen to your body symptoms, where do you "feel getting angry" inside your body. Practice stress management, relaxation, self-care. Find a therapist to guide you.

Agree w Dr. Fox: 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.
