Anger is Not Necessarily a Problem

2009-03-30T18:44:00.000-07:00

It is common these days to hear about people with "anger management issues". I even saw a blog the other day about "reverse anger management".

Anger is NOT as many would like to believe - a behaviour or set of behaviours. Rather, anger

People are often hung-up in their lives by their unwillingness, or inability to accept certain situations in their lives and to learn to forgive.Often, I am confronted by a client on this topic as they state, "Why should I forgive for him/her for what they did to me. I did nothing wrong." You are right! You did
