Anger and other emotions

Anger is a normal and helpful human emotion that often gets mistaken for aggression. While aggression is a behaviour, anger itself is a signal — a warning that something isn’t right or that a boundary has been crossed. It’s our mind and body’s way of telling us to pay attention and protect ourselves.

Anger can also act as a shield for more vulnerable feelings such as sadness, fear, or shame. When these emotions go unrecognised, they can lead to frustration, resentment, or outbursts that feel hard to control.

At Adaptive, we help you explore and understand your anger so you can respond rather than react. Our psychologists work with you to:

• Identify the triggers and underlying emotions driving anger

• Develop strategies to manage frustration and regulate responses

• Build emotional awareness and communication skills

• Strengthen relationships and improve overall wellbeing

Processing and understanding anger allows you to take back control and respond in ways that align with your values.
