Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) – for anger management

Everyone experiences anger, fear, worry, sadness and joy. Anger destroys one’s intellect leading to one’s own ruin. One loses control over oneself and in a fit of rage behaves in an irrational/illogical way that harms him/her and others. Fear, failure, loss, threat, insult, assault, cheating, bullying, unhealthy relationship and adverse life-situation are the factors that trigger anger.
