Anger Resources If you or someone you know experiences anger as an uncontrolled, uncontrollable emotion, this ManageAnger™ Questionnaire can help. When anger loses proportionality and causes someone to say things they don't mean and do things they regret, then anger is no longer safe. It is not loving. This questionnaire helps identify the "triggers" that turn anger into rage. It gives insights for managing those triggers sooner, and better.

The questionnaire identifies "Hidden Symptoms of Anger." It guides your awareness to automatic, unproductive patterns you can change. By suggesting emotional options that are loving and proportional, this questionnaire is a valuable tool for examining and improving the relationship between anger and needs, anger and love, and for enhancing the quality of your own emotional well-being.

Answer the following questions using the scale of:
  
1 = Never  2 = Sometimes  3 = Frequently

and you will see!
