I don't believe you can control emotions but you can manage them in a healthy way. If you're "triggered" one of the ways to manage the emotions behind the "trigger" is to ask yourself, why am I triggered? What am I feeling? Is what I am feeling related to the current incident or is it from a wound that hasn't healed? Once you have that self-awareness of what is behind the emotions, then you can manage them better.

There is really no need to control them, but to understand the feeling and let it pass. For example, when you are angry, and think about it, you can understand angry starts when something hurts. If you let our self feel what hurts, the angry feeling goes. And if you feel the sadness for what hurts, you can also let it go.

I think that to control your emotions you have to understand them first. Once you can understand them you can be prepared in the situations that you know may lead you to feeling them and therefore in a way, control them.

Controlling your emotions works about as well as trying to control a thunderstorm from the ground. They're just something that happens, to everybody, all the time. You can learn how to express and manage them effectively, which is something that most of us begin to learn how to do when we're quite young. The important thing to remember about emotions is, like a thunderstorm, they have their moment and then they pass.

It is totally possible. But you do have to do it in a healthy manner where you allow and accept your feelings to be felt but also make sure you do not act on them and do something you would not like to do. First step is to accept your feelings without judging them. And you will see once you allow your feelings to be processed by accepting. They lose their grip on you and youcan think logically and solve any issue in a balanced manner

Yes, it is always possible to control your emotions. If you feel like you have anger issues you should probably try to consult a counselor or therapist so you don't hurt someone or yourself.
