Anger is one of our most powerful emotions. It can protect us, motivate us and help us stand up for ourselves, but when it takes control, it can damage relationships, careers and even our health. In this guided discussion, led by Chief Psychological Counsellor David Ammerschlaeger, we'll explore the fascinating psychology and neuroscience of anger and aggression. Are some people naturally quicker to lose their temper than others? What actually happens inside the brain when anger begins to take over? And why do some people seem able to stay calm under pressure while others explode?

Together, we'll look at practical, evidence-based ways to recognise and manage anger before it manages us. We'll discuss the crucial difference between expressing anger in a healthy way and simply suppressing it, as well as strategies for handling conflict when emotions are running high; whether you're arguing with a partner, navigating family tensions, or facing a heated disagreement at work. We'll also explore how to respond when other people become aggressive, and how understanding the psychology behind anger can help us communicate more effectively, make better decisions and build stronger relationships. Whether you rarely get angry or find yourself "losing it" more often than you'd like, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of both yourself and the people around you.

愤怒是我们最强烈的情绪之一。它既能保护我们、激励我们，帮助我们维护自身权益；但一旦失控，也可能损害人际关系、职业发展甚至身心健康。在这场由首席心理咨询师David Ammerschlaeger引导的讨论中，我们将深入探索愤怒与攻击行为背后迷人的心理学及神经科学机制。是否有些人天生就比别人更容易发脾气？当愤怒开始占据主导时，大脑内部究竟发生了什么？为什么有些人在高压下仍能保持冷静，而另一些人却会瞬间爆发？

我们将共同探讨基于实证的实用方法，学会在愤怒控制我们之前识别并管理它。我们会讨论健康表达愤怒与单纯压抑情绪之间的关键区别，以及在情绪激动时应对冲突的策略——无论你是与伴侣争吵、处理家庭矛盾，还是面对职场上的激烈分歧。我们还将探讨当他人表现出攻击性时该如何应对，以及理解愤怒背后的心理机制如何帮助我们更有效地沟通、做出更明智的决策并建立更稳固的关系。无论你很少生气，还是发现自己“失控”的频率超出预期，都能在这场讨论中对自我及他人获得更深刻的理解。
