In my experience, I have always found it strange, that we try to ‘manage anger’. The point where we decide that what we need, is to manage anger is the point where we gave up and admitted that we cannot do without this rather unnecessary emotion. The fact is, we need to manage and train ourselves to react differently.

Between an incident and the resulting reaction there are a few seconds or even minutes where we process what happened. Our brain maps it to any or many fragments of old memories to give us the emotional reaction we are most familiar with. It could be anger, panic, fear or any other.

Anger, thus is the consequence of such untrained mapping and of all things that we can change in ourselves, this mapping stands a strong chance. How can we train ourselves to react in control to an unfavourable circumstance without letting loose?
