What can you do when your temper causes you physical harm?
 - By Dr. Jennifer B Lagrotte, DMFT

Emotions are a normal part of being human and it is often not recommended that people hold them in; however, it is suggested that people keep some control over them. Control of emotions is important as it is necessary in order to co-exist with others without causing any real disruptions in normal, every day life. How those deal with their emotions is also a matter of what is and what is not acceptable in one’s society. Those who are happier people who are fairly easy going will often find themselves with more friends and have, somewhat, of an easier time co-existing with their co-workers and family members. Those who are unable to control their negative emotions, such as a really hot temper, can often find themselves in trouble at work and at home.

Everyone has a temper, it is the kind of temper that each individual has that differs. For example, one person may find that little things will not bother them as much, they tend to laugh more and they do not feel the need to be overly upset at most small difficulties. Those how have quite a temper, however, may feel that they are easily brought to anger with the most trivial things. While most are born with the kind of temper they have in their adult years, there are many that can develop tempers, depending on the kind of life they have had. Life is not easy for most and it can lead to much frustration as things continue to go wrong. Those who are stressed, who suffer anxiety and who have many difficulties in their lives, can find themselves quick to anger with things that for anyone else may not seem that big of a deal. In cases like these, a person has bottled up their emotions to the point where they will explode in anger when something triggers them into action.

Those who have high tempers and who feel they are quick to anger and frustration over many things in every day life need to stop, take a moment for themselves and think about the possible affects their anger could be causing to their bodies. Prolonged stress and upset can lead to the same kinds of problems as constant high stress can. Heart disease or other heart problems, chronic headaches, fatigue, depression, frustration, anxiety and even substance abuse can all be possible side-affects. These kinds of consequences need to be thought about early in life so that these side-affects can hopefully be avoided; however, learning how to deal with one’s temper is not always easy. Correctly dealing with temper and anger is something that has to be learned, which is why counseling is often suggested.

Seeing an online counselor or an online therapist can go a long way in helping one to learn how to deal with their daily stresses in a healthier way. It can help them to turn down their temper, and even possible help improve their personal and work lives as they become calmer and more approachable. Online counseling can be accessed from the home, so no one ever needs to know that one has decided to get some online therapy for their uncontrollable temper.
