Do I Need Anger Management?
It can be hard to know when it’s time to reach out for support. That’s why we want to provide you with common reasons why individuals, families, or couples come to our offices.
Common reasons for beginning anger management include:
-
When you get angry, you find yourself staying in that mental state for longer periods
-
It’s hard for you to compromise with others and you get very frustrated when things don't go your way
-
Sometimes, you feel out of control
-
It’s common for you to overreact
-
You don’t like to talk about your feelings
-
Your anger has been directed at others and you’ve hurt them in a physical or verbal way
-
Your important relationships are struggling
-
You worry about others being mad at or disappointed in you
-
It’s hard for you to be successful at work or school
-
Your friends don’t want to be around you as much
-
You do not accept responsibility for your actions
-
You blame your misfortunes on others
What is Your Approach to Anger Management Therapy?
Our approach to anger management is the same we would take with all other counseling sessions. We aim to offer you, your partner, your family, or your child a safe place to talk about the issues that are bringing them to anger management. We know talking to a stranger about your feelings is intimidating. It can be hard and often uncomfortable to open up to someone you don't know. But, we can assure you that we’ve helped many clients experiencing similar issues. Together, we've helped them take back control of their emotions and learn to manage distress in a more peaceful way.
We begin anger management by getting to know you.
We will learn more about the things you’re dealing with currently. We will listen to you in a non-judgmental way and ask you questions to help determine what’s causing you to be so angry. We truly want to know what’s lying under your angry facade. Once we understand what’s going on we will have a better idea of what you need from counseling. Then, your anger begins to lose its power over you. Next, we will come up with a custom treatment plan. This will help you to learn prosocial coping techniques to handle tough situations when they arise again.
