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.
When anger is uncontrolled, it is also a health risk. Long periods of anger regularly can cause insomnia, skin problems, digestive disorders, headaches, backaches, a weakened immune system, depression, low self-esteem, stroke and cardiac arrest.
The experienced anger management therapists at Thriveworks in Silver Spring, MD have worked with thousands of people with uncontrollable anger to help them find the causes and triggers of their anger and healthy ways to respond to them. They work with individuals to find an anger management treatment plan in order for them to live happier and healthier lives. Reach out today for help.
Monitoring anger is crucial to knowing what causes it. The cues are warning signs of anger, and it is important to identify them. There are four categories, including physical, behavioral, emotional and cognitive.
The physical cues are how the body responds to an angry episode. A racing heart, sweaty palms and a feeling of tightness in the chest are all indicators that you are angry and it is spiraling out of control.
The behavioral cues are witnessed by others when you are angry. Examples of these are shouting, clenching the fist and pacing.
Feelings that you have when you are angry are emotional cues. They are the feelings that underlie anger, such as guilt, abandonment or being disrespected.
The thoughts, or cognitive cues, are the response to the situation or source that made you angry. It may be something taken the wrong way, such as a coworker’s comment that you construe as a criticism. Some people view the actions of others as being controlling or condescending. The “self-talk” of angry people is mostly critical. In addition, people may have fantasies about getting back at the person who made them angry. When the images occur, they can cause anger to exacerbate.
It is important to get professional help for your out of control anger, but the following can help in the meantime and as a supplement to therapy:
