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.

I appreciated how Dr. Smith took the time to listen to me and explain thoroughly step-by-step the process of evaluating my mental health status. She explained the medication she prescribed in depth and the side effects.
