Constant irritability or outbursts of anger can cause difficulties in our relationships with friends, family, or colleagues and leave us feeling unhappy and exhausted. This fully updated and revised edition of William Davies' bestseller is aimed at anyone trying to control their anger and regrets their inappropriate reactions. The book clearly explains what causes anger and what we can do to prevent it. Techniques based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offer a positive approach with long-term goals in mind and show how you can successfully manage situations that would test even the calmest person. The Overcoming self-help guides use clinically proven techniques to treat long-term and disconnecting conditions, both psychological and physical.
