If you are having difficulties with anger management, I can help! We all experience angry feelings and it is a normal and healthy to have these feelings. Anger management is not simply about some techniques such as deep breathing, or going for a walk. These techniques can be helpful, but we will also look for deeper understand things that trigger your anger. Doing so will provide opportunity to address your anger and possibly heal past wounds. These past wounds can bubble up and take control in powerful ways in attempt to be heard / understood. On top of all this, we can find constructive ways to express our anger that will make us more likely to be heard and our feelings respected.
I see the therapeutic process as myself guiding my clients through difficult situations to move forward in life, and feel more energized. My clients say that I supportively nudge them along and that our therapeutic rapport is what helps them better find themselves.
Anger itself is not inherently a destructive force. If understood and accepted, people can work through their discontent in ways that help them feel appreciated even when upset.
Helping someone with anger issues means understanding how their feelings of not being good enough, anxiety, stress, and not being happy with parts of their life play into their struggles with anger. We'd dig into what sets off their anger, like not liking their job, arguments with loved ones, or stuff from their past. We'd come up with ways to handle anger better, like spotting warning signs early, chilling out with relaxation methods, and getting better at talking things out.
As a therapist specializing in addictions, relationship issues, and depression, I'm here to offer support to anyone struggling with anger management. My approach begins with understanding the triggers behind their anger. From there, we'll work together to learn techniques from therapy approaches like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to help gain control over their emotions. Together, we'll develop healthier ways of handling anger and improving communication in relationships, which can often be a big part of the puzzle.
