I don't have that too much but have family members who do. I don't know if you have the kind of temper where rage becomes the only feeling you're aware of and your "thinking brain" shuts down. My sister told me that asking herself "what do I want to get out of this?" was somewhat helpful when she was involved in an interaction where her impulse was to let her anger take over.

I ask myself that for my "lesser" anger impulses, too. If what you really want is for the person to do something for you, cooperate with you, or to just not call the police, sometimes that thought can help.

There are, of course, anger management courses available. It probably would be good for most of us to take one. Anger is a good emotion when managed correctly but potentially dangerous and destructive when it gets out of control.
