Anger is usually a secondary emotion and I explore with patients why they are angry and identify where it is coming from. Anger is a natural emotion and I relate it to emotional regulation. Emotional regulation strategies may be learned in therapy.

A good starting point I would recommend is starting with learning to recognize the signs that you are starting to get angry. This could be hands shaking, clenched fists/jaw, turning red, zoning out, etc. These are called "physiological reactions", basically a physical bodily response to an emotion, something a majority of people have to some extent. Once you identify some of your signs of anger, then you would use implement coping skills. The simplest one would be walking away. Whether to another room, outside, find some way to get away from the stresser/trigger, from there you can utilize breathing techniques (box breathing techniques if a good one), grounding techniques (5-4-3-2-1 is a good starting one). Additionally, over time it can be helpful to reflect back on anger to see what the triggers were so they can be avoided or prepared for in the future, and seeing what coping skills helped and did not. Remember it all takes time, you will have good days and bad days, that does not mean you are "failing", it means you are working to get better, and that is a normal part of any process. Give yourself credit for even the smallest accomplishments, and keep going!

A lot of anger may be related to other mental health conditions. I would suggest meeting a therapist to first be evaluated. There are several apps like calm , headspace etc. that you can use to cope. But the first thing to learn is to walk away and calm your body.
