Anger Issues

Dealing with serious anger issues are consumed with anger. These individuals can be defiant and may turn to violence, self-harm, risky behavior, and illegal activity as a way to cope with strong feelings. They may lash out with anger in response to outside stressors or an untreated or undiagnosed mental disorder.

I work with clients 12 and up with anger issues uncover what is underneath the anger as well as address belief systems that can lead to behavioral outbursts.

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.

I believe that anger is an expression of underlying unmet needs. Let’s work together to help you gain the skills to emotionally regulate intense emotions and strengthen your communication with your loved ones.

Many individuals may be unaware that anger serves as a messenger emotion. Anger is a primary emotion that encompasses various subsystems of emotions. Metaphorically, anger is a vehicle transporting other emotions that are driving your anger. There are a multitude of reasons that can trigger anger; however, therapy can equip you with valuable techniques to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying causes driving your anger.

I have worked with clients to successfully resolve anger management issues by connecting triggers to past trauma and providing strategies to recognize & manage negative emotions.

Anger. It's something that a lot of us deal with- whether it's from you or from someone you care for and you just happen to be in the "Backblast Area". It effects us in some pretty major ways, like- 1. "Road Rage" 2. Snapping at family members/friends/co-workers 3. Thinking "People piss me off because they're stupid" 4. Feeling impatient with people then later wondering "Why did I do that?" Let's talk about those situations and figure out what to do about it.

Anger can feel like one of the most isolating emotions we have. Sometimes, anger is explosive, passive-aggressive, or targeted inward. And if we allow it, it can even come to define who we are with others and ourselves. I specialize in working with anger because it is one of our least understood and shamed emotions. My goal in working with you is to develop mindfulness around your anger through physical awareness, expression of it, and being more compassionate.

I help clients learn better ways to handle difficult emotions and feelings.

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.

I can help by providing you with the specific tools needed to overcome your pain. Asking for help can be hard, and at the same time it is the first step toward regaining control of your life.

My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and change the thought patterns and beliefs that contribute to their anger. We work together to uncover the triggers for their anger, explore how these triggers are connected to past experiences or unmet needs, and develop strategies for managing these emotions in healthier ways. This might include learning relaxation techniques, improving communication skills, and practicing mindfulness to stay calm

I view anger as a secondary emotion. Underneath that rage is fear and sorrow waiting to be expressed. My work with clients involves welcoming the anger and then asking, "what important part of myself is this anger trying to protect."

As a counselor specializing in anger management, I help individuals understand the root causes of their anger and develop healthier ways to express and control it. Through personalized strategies and evidence-based techniques, I work with clients to identify triggers, manage impulsive reactions, and cultivate patience and self-control. My goal is to assist clients in transforming anger into constructive communication, improving relationships, and achieving emotional balance.

Anger issues refer to difficulties in managing and expressing anger in a healthy and constructive manner. Anger is a natural emotion that everyone experiences, but when it becomes intense, frequent, or leads to destructive behavior, it can significantly impact relationships, work, and overall well-being.

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.
