There is no such thing as an inherently negative emotion, even one that can be as destructive as anger. There are plenty of things in life to be angry about, and it is anger that motivates individuals and communities to make necessary changes. However, the way that we handle anger can be negative, if we lose ourselves in it. Anger management counseling is designed to help individuals find inner peace and use their anger objectively and thoughtfully.
