Finding strategies that will work for managing your anger depends on things like 1) what’s causing it, 2) how severe it is, and 3) the resources you have available to you. For occasional, minor feelings of anger, simple things like counting to ten or taking a few deep breaths can be a great place to start. These tactics can help cool you off and focus your mind in the heat of the moment, so your prefrontal cortex has a chance to catch up and offer some sage advice.  Some people may find these tactics underwhelming. Sometimes, you need a more serious strategy to help tame anger and get it under control in the long term.
