Anger control: 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 are calmer. Focus on your breathing not what is making you angry. Cognitive behavioral therapy is excellent for.

Anger: Realize that anger is often a cover up for more fundamental feelings like hurt, sadness and fear. Confide in a friend who can help you slow down and uncover the origin of your distress. Consult a mental health professional to help you work through your distress while learning how to control the destructive anger you have been experiencing. Best.
