Anger is an emotional energy that resides in our body and mind until it runs its course. Your anger can teach you about yourself—what's important to you, what your sensitivities are, where your boundaries lie—but you have to listen to it to learn anything. If you can catch the internal signal or clue that anger is on the way, you can switch to a mindset of curiosity and self-investigation about what your anger is trying to say. To learn from your anger and not just react to triggers with rage or passive-aggression, you don't need anger management; you need impulse control techniques.
