Why You Get So Angry And What to Do About It

Why you get so angry and what to do about it. If you find yourself getting angry over little things, it's probably not about the little things. Hi, I'm Dr. Andrea Zorbas. I'm a psychologist from Therapy Now SF. So anger is a normal emotion, but if it feels out of proportion or hard to control, there's usually something deeper going on for you. Let's take a closer look.

So first, anger often masks other emotions. Many people feel angry when they're actually hurt. They're overwhelmed or even afraid. Anger will show up as a shield.

Second old patterns play a role. So if you grew up in a household where anger was a constant, or if it was not allowed at all, you may not have learned how to express it in a healthy way.

Lastly, you can interrupt the cycle. So when you recognize what your triggers are and pause before reacting, you can choose a different response, and then you build more understanding with others.

So in summary, you're not just an angry person with the right tools, anger can become a signal for you, not a weapon. Therapy Now SF can help.
