Anger Issues

Angry people are often misunderstood. I know the regret and shame that can come after losing your temper, yet again. While anger can bring out the worst parts of us that we usually like to keep hidden, it can also feel good to know that it keeps people from taking advantage or messing with us. Let's try to tame that anger so it feels like you're more in control of it, rather than the other way around.

When you’re triggered, the “thinking” part of your brain shuts down, the fight or flight response takes over, and you react in explosive, self-defeating and harmful ways. Guess what; it’s not your fault. You didn’t choose to be triggered, did you? It’s not your fault that your brain evolved to keep you safe and alive at any cost. Your brain evolved to react—without thinking—to keep you safe. We can reprocess and heal your triggers so you no longer overreact in the absence of genuine threat.

I created an anger management program when I was working for the DoD and helping Soldiers with domestic abuse, PTSD, and anger control issues. You have to be willing to admit that you have a problem before you can start working on the problem. I am direct and will confront you and will hold you accountable. I don't shy away, get my feelings hurt, and I don't give up on my clients. I don't have a problem when my client's curse or use foul language. Its okay to just tell it like it is!

"I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood." ― The Animals, 1965 “Anger is a valid emotion. It's only bad when it takes control and makes you do things you don't want to do.” ― Ellen Hopkins, Fallout “When angry, count four. When very angry, swear.” ― Mark Twain

Anger is a normal emotion that all people experience. When anger becomes too consuming, occurs too often, destroys relationships, impacts health, or becomes physical, professional guidance may be helpful. Seeing a therapist for anger management may help you identify underlying emotions and triggers, learn to deal with difficult people, set boundaries, and improve conflict resolution skills. My anger management sessions are currently offered on a one-on-one basis.

Anger is a powerful emotion AND it's an energy we feel strongly in our bodies. The feeling of anger can often tell us that something isn't right in the current moment. It may also be the result of unmet needs that culminated in feelings of anger for you as a young child. When unaddressed, this anger continues into adulthood. There are many ways that anger can be addressed - through changing thoughts & beliefs, learning to express feelings & needs and more.

When working with young adults seeking counseling for anger issues, I employ an evidence-based approach that focuses on building coping skills and addressing triggers at each stage of anger. Through CBT techniques and mindfulness practices, I assist clients in understanding the stages of anger and developing effective coping mechanisms for each stage. This may involve recognizing early signs of anger, implementing relaxation techniques, and learning communication strategies.

Anger is a normal human emotion that warns us that something is being done to us that is threatening, unjust, or gets in the way of getting our needs met. Of course, we can become angry at ourselves for a variety of reasons. Anger by nature is not a “problem” nor does it always require “anger management.” Unfortunately, for many people, anger can become a problem . I help people for whom anger has become a problem through developing behavioral and emotional self-awareness, understanding about triggers and underlying causes, and effective coping skills (aka “tools”) that can help them manage their anger reactions in more constructive ways.

Anger is an emotion that we all feel. Much to many people's surprise, it can be a useful and important emotion. However, sometimes, our response to anger creates chaos and destruction in our lives and in our relationships.
