About This Service
Anger is a natural emotion no different to happiness or sadness. We experience anger as a response to feeling attacked, being treated unfairly, someone has broken a rule that is important to you or an expectation has not been met among other personal reasons.

If you are anxious about being with others, remember that they probably feel the same as you.
