Anger management help



Anger management help

Do you get so angry that you feel out of control? Are you finding that the people who you love are becoming less and less forgiving and tolerant of your anger management problem? Does your anger consume you with shame and embarrassment and you feel helpless because of it? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, consider counseling to learn how to control and express your intense emotions. 

Understanding Anger Management Issues

I work with many individuals who face similar challenges in managing their anger. Often, through no fault of their own, they have not been able to develop the necessary skills to regulate how they express and deal with their anger. This deficiency can lead to severe consequences for both themselves and others, including feelings of regret and shame, and even being ostracized by family and friends. Commonly, these anger issues stem from an underlying inability to manage one’s emotions. Without getting help, an individual may eventually resort to problematic expressions of anger.

Many individuals with uncontrolled anger struggle because they haven’t learned effective impulse control. The intense feelings of anger and rage can become so overwhelming they act out to release the pressure. Often, they may feel that they don’t have any ability to scale or modulate their anger. It’s important to recognize that NO one is born with anger management issues; rather, these are behaviors typically developed in early childhood. Unfortunately, not everyone acquires the necessary skills to manage their emotions during these formative years. On the other hand, anger management counseling can be incredibly beneficial, as it teaches individuals the skills needed to regulate their emotions and handle anger in a healthy way.

My Anger Is My Responsibility

Sometimes, people with self-described anger management issues believe their anger is triggered by others’ actions or words. They might even convince many people to be responsible for their anger, i.e. telling other people things they can’t do or say. However, holding others accountable for your emotions never works in the long run. This approach not only restricts other people’s freedom but also prevents your personal growth. As an adult, you must learn how to control your behaviors, feelings, and thoughts independently.

Counseling for Anger Management

The great news is that managing and expressing anger efficiently are skills that you can learn. Therapy offers ways to help you learn how to control and articulate your strong emotions. If you’re looking for healthier ways to regulate feelings of frustration, disappointment, hurt, or fear, counseling for anger problems can provide the guidance and tools you need.
