ANGER Therapy

Feeling agitated, tense or on edge on a regular basis?

Is anger affecting your relationships or daily life?

It's normal to feel angry or frustrated at times, but if you are experiencing anger on a regular basis and it is affecting your relationships or daily life, it may be time to seek help from a therapist.

Signs that I cold benefit from seeing an anger therapist

Here are a few signs that you may benefit from therapy for anger management:

• You are having difficulty controlling your anger: If you find yourself getting angry easily or lashing out at others, it may be helpful to work with a therapist to learn healthy ways to manage your anger.

• Your anger is causing problems in your relationships: If your anger is causing conflicts with your friends, family, or coworkers, it may be time to seek help from a therapist to learn how to communicate effectively and resolve conflicts.

• Your anger is affecting your physical health: Chronic anger can take a toll on your physical health, including increasing your risk of heart disease and other health problems. If you are concerned about the impact of your anger on your health, it may be helpful to work with a therapist to learn healthy ways to manage your emotions.

• You have a history of abuse or trauma: If you have experienced abuse or trauma in the past, it may be more difficult to manage your anger and you may benefit from therapy to address these issues and learn healthy coping strategies.

If you are experiencing any of these issues, it may be helpful to seek help from a therapist who can work with you to identify the causes of your anger and develop a plan to manage it.

• Anger management therapy: This type of therapy is specifically designed to help individuals manage anger and may include techniques such as relaxation training, communication skills training, and problem-solving skills.

• Psychodynamic therapy: This type of therapy helps individuals understand and resolve unconscious conflicts that may be contributing to their anger.
