Debra Younger
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, LPC, LMHC, CCPT
All emotions are messengers that inform us that something is off in our internal system. The goal of anger management is to identify the underlying cause for the anger and resolve it through the use of Internal Family Systems. Anger itself is not the problem, but how it is expressed. Prior to using IFS, healthy ways to express anger are taught.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
While there are often mental components to anger you'll want to address with a talk therapist, there's also a physical component that we can work on using somatic approaches:
Out of control anger is often your nervous system's "fight" response kicking in so intensely that it's hard to keep your cool. Anger serves an important purpose, but we want to know that we can still stay connected to our best selves even while we are angry.
We can use body-focused techniques to be able to recognize when anger is about to kick in, and to teach your body new ways of responding to that anger. For example, you may find yourself saying to me "I noticed I was getting hot and agitated, so I excused myself for a couple minutes."
You may find yourself able to focus your energy much more quickly than you used to, to come back focused and goal oriented. You may still feel 'mad' but it may be anger that is working for you, in alignment with your values.

Dr. George Lough
Psychologist, Ph.D., S.E.P.
Anger, in the form of self-assertion, self-protection, and boundary creation, can be a useful emotion if properly managed. But inappropriate expression of anger is destructive to relationships and to you life adjustment.
