Anger Management
Anger management is typically mistaken for the ability to "not get mad." That's simply not the case. Anger management is recognizing the signs that you're becoming angry, figuring out what makes or made you angry (trigger points) and applying self control and dealing with situations in a conducive way. Anger management does not prevent you from feeling anger or encourage you to hold it in. Anger is a normal emotion when you deal with and express it properly - anger management teaches just that.
