BBC Radio Scotland - Personal Best, Anger Management

Advice and inspiration on how to manage anger for maximum health and happiness.

Advice and inspiration on how to manage anger, our own and other people's, for maximum health and happiness. And could swearing actually be good for us?

What makes you angry - bad driving, your computer crashing, rudeness, constantly having to pick up wet towels from the bedroom floors?! This week we're all about managing anger - our own and other people's - so that it doesn't get in the way of us achieving our Personal Best...

Prof Ewan Gillon, Clinical Director of First Psychology, talks about the triggers and symptoms of anger, to what extent anger can be bad for our health and the coping mechanisms we can put into place to deal with our own anger.

Richard Mullender, corporate trainer and former hostage negotiator, describes the impact other people's anger can have on us and advises on the best ways of dealing with it.

Dr Emma Byrne, scientist and author of Swearing Is Good For You, explains how swearing can help when we're angry and the evidence that suggests swearing might actually be good for us.

Richard Forbes visits a parenting class at the Goodtrees Neighbourhood Centre in Edinburgh to find out how they're trying to promote good behaviour in the family. Toddler tantrums? No problem!
