Anger Management Therapy

We will look at triggers and cues in order to gain more awareness of situations that lead to angry reactions. Various strategies to help counter the urge to act out will be utilize.

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 that affects our mental and physical health, strains or damages relationships, hurts our ability to perform, and diminishes the way we see ourselves. I help people for whom anger has become a problem through developing behavioral and emotional self-awareness, understanding about triggers and underlying causes (including historical trauma), and effective coping skills (aka “tools”) that can help them manage their anger reactions in more constructive ways.

Anger management is a 12 week module that is offered weekly. After the client has completed twelve sessions the client will earn a certificate of completion. This Anger management module can be taught with six to eight clients or individually. Each session cost $25 or a flat rate of $250.

Being able to work through anger with clients requires an understanding of trauma. I find that anger is usually just the "tip of the iceberg." There is usually a lot of other pain (sadness, fear, rejection, not having had one's needs met) underneath the anger outbursts/anger turned inside in the form of depression. I am willing to listen & to offer compassion. I'm also willing to help clients learn how to do the body work- Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance, Grounding, Deep Breath Work...

The 1 emotion we’ve all experienced is “Anger”. Anger is a secondary emotion that is usually triggered by feelings of fear and anxiety. I can help you learn how to change your maladaptive thoughts, unpleasant emotions & unwanted behaviors that are linked to problems in life causing you distress and misery. Remember-Anger is only 1 letter away from Danger!
