Mission Connection (866-546-4299), a licensed mental health provider operating in Virginia, California, and Washington, has released a new guide to managing workplace anger and stress.
-- With workplace stress causing an estimated 120,000 deaths in the U.S. each year, Mission Connection has released its latest guide to help individuals who are struggling with work-related mental health challenges. The guide covers possible causes of stress and anger and explores coping mechanisms and professional treatment options.

Anger is part of the normal human range of emotions and is healthy if managed properly. However, chronic anger management issues can negatively impact immune function and increase blood pressure and heart rate, making the body more prone to medical conditions such as heart disease and diabetes, as well as mental disorders like anxiety and depression. In addition, uncontrolled anger can impact an individual’s career, resulting in possible job loss and financial issues.
Unfortunately, many Americans develop such anger issues at the workplace - one study found that 45% of employees regularly lose their temper at work, while 65% of employees have experienced office rage in the form of extreme anger or violence.
There are many causes of workplace anger, but Mission Connection’s guide highlights stress, unfair treatment, lack of recognition, and conflicts with team members as some of the most common factors in chronic anger issues. Possible symptoms of these issues include emotional changes like frequent outbursts or intense irritability and frustration; physical signs like muscle tension, sweating, and rapid breathing; and behavioral changes, including loss of focus and passive-aggressiveness.
To manage anger at work, Mission Connection’s guide notes that there are some effective short-term strategies that can provide immediate relief during stressful situations or conflicts. For example, individuals can practice deep breathing for at least 10 minutes, count to 10 to divert the mind from angry emotions and avoid reacting in the heat of the moment, or temporarily remove themselves from the trigger.
Over the longer term, Mission Connection says that improving communication skills, building emotional intelligence and stress tolerance, and establishing clear boundaries will equip workers with the toolset to deal with workplace conflict constructively. If they are unable to develop these skills independently, they may also consider professional therapeutic approaches such as CBT, behavioral therapy, stress management therapy, and executive coaching for anger control.
