Today I was reading an article by the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT) discussing the effects of anger on families. The problem with anger is that it is infectious and can spread throughout an entire family and then be passed to the next generation. If you, or someone in your family has an anger problem, you need to seek counseling immediately to stop the pattern.

The AAMFT has made a list of how to know if your loved one has an anger problem, which I have listed below:
- Becoming more angry than is appropriate in regards to mild frustration or irritation.
- Having feelings of guilt or regret over something that you have said or done in a fit of anger.
- Repeated social conflict as a result of anger outbursts (lawsuits, fights, property damage, school suspensions, etc.)
- Family and or friends approach you with the concern that you need help managing your anger.
- Having chronic physical symptoms such as high blood pressure, gastrointestinal difficulties, or anxiety.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you believe that you or someone you love has an anger problem by calling 949.200.6761 or by emailing kristi@counselingbykristi.com.
