What Is Anger Management?

Anger management therapy helps reduce the frequency and intensity of angry outbursts. Therapy can help you better understand the factors that contribute to your expressions of anger, such as current and past triggers. You can also begin to better understand your responses to anger and the consequences to you and your relationships. 

Our licensed mental health providers teach anger management patients coping strategies and relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, leaving the room and returning when you’re collected, or using a relaxing image to alleviate the intensity of anger. They can also explore the roots of why patients experience intense or misplaced anger and determine if other mental health issues, such as PTSD, need to be addressed.

The Benefits of Managing Your Anger

Intense, destructive, or uncontrollable anger may cause significant emotional and physical distress and pose a safety risk. Undergoing anger management therapy can improve the following:

Mental Health

Uncontrolled anger is linked with conditions such as depression and can cloud your judgment.

Physical Health

Over time, angry outbursts can damage one’s health, leading to physical health conditions such as high blood pressure.

Your Career

Lashing out or having angry outbursts can alienate professional peers and lead to negative consequences. Anger management techniques will help you be more successful at work.

Relationships

Loved ones or friends are often the targets of anger. Ultimately, those close to you may break off those relationships. Therapy can help earn back their trust.
