Yes, there are therapists who help with anger via Anger management therapy. It’s a therapeutic process that an individual goes through to manage their anger and identify its triggers. They’re given clear instructions on how to improve their angry behavior as well as a safe space for opening up about their emotions.
Once an individual’s triggers are identified, anger management therapy focuses on helping the individual process and respond to these emotions in a more positive and productive manner. The anger management therapist will provide coping strategies and ultimately help their client take back control of their anger.
The five keys to mastering anger include identifying triggers, pausing before reacting, calmly expressing emotions, discovering constructive outlets for frustration, and seeking professional assistance if necessary. Acquiring these skills through Anger management therapy empowers individuals to effectively manage and navigate their anger.
The best therapy for anger management often involves cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps individuals identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior related to anger.
Anger management therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Often, Anger management therapy lasts between 4-6 weeks. However, it can last longer, dependent on the individual’s needs.
Undoubtedly, there are many frustrating experiences, and everyone has bad days. But many people find controlling their anger difficult. Rightfully so! It’s not easy to staunch the flow of fury once it’s started. But it is possible. The counselors at Thriveworks Dover can help you identify the root causes of anger and successfully control it. Reach out today for help.
Anger is an innate part of the human psyche. We all experience it, and it can be healthy when properly managed. It’s when it spirals out of control that it can be destructive both to you and the people around you.
Anger attacks not only thoughts and emotions, but the body as well. The physical affects of long-term anger can be devastating. Some of these effects include:
These physical effects of anger often catch people by surprise. If anger is an emotion, how can it affect your body? The answer lies in hormone activity. Anger activates your “flight or fight” response which then releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. In a dangerous situation, these hormones can save your life. But long-term, they begin to wear on your body.
Anyone, at any stage of their life, can have problems controlling their anger. We’ve seen all kinds of living situations, occupations, and ages come in for anger management counseling. There’s never a wrong reason or one that isn’t good enough. If you are unhappy with where you are at in life, talking to a professional counselor can be of great help.
Thriveworks Dover understands how much courage it takes to reach out and ask for help. If you are hesitant, look for these signs:
Anger will not discriminate when and how it shows up. But you are stronger than your emotions, and with a little guidance, you can be in control again.
Thriveworks Dover always keeps the focus on you. We want to meet your goals and address your hesitancies. Our mission at Thriveworks is to walk with you to where you want to be and offer some tools along the way. In an anger management counseling session, we may learn:
You are not stuck dealing with this anger forever. Many times, one or two coping mechanisms is all you need to stay on track. Thriveworks Dover strives to create a space that is judgment-free for everyone to come practice the strategies that will help them live the life they’ve always dreamed of. Reach out to us today for help–we offer evening and weekend sessions, accept most major insurance, and are excited to begin this journey with you!
