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.
Anger is a common and very normal emotion. It isn’t widely known, but anger is actually an emotion that has the ability to provide us benefits and to serve us well; however, more frequently it is accompanied by negativity and brings in its wake far from desirable consequences.
It’s much easier said than done, but anger can actually be used to show us areas in our life that can be improved. If an event triggers an angry feeling in us, we have the opportunity to identify the root cause of our angry emotions and also develop constructive solutions to prevent similar situations in the future. But if anger is left unchecked it becomes chronic, uncontrolled, and very unhealthy. It can have serious consequences for not only yourself, but for those all around you. Without properly managing our anger, it can eat away at our relationships, our health, and our personal state of mind and overall wellbeing.
Anger, just like other emotions, is neither good nor bad. Emotions simply convey us messages, and anger is communicating to you that a situation is upsetting or maybe even threatening. Unfortunately, we often find ourselves reacting to our angry emotions in a negative, reflex-like manner. We blame our anger for our actions as well as the results those actions bring with them. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way.
At Thriveworks Charlottesville our team of therapists and counselors have years of training in the field of Anger Management, and we can help you to discover ways to prevent the negative consequences of anger and even help you to use anger for your good and also for the good of those in your sphere of influence.
If difficulty managing your anger is currently affecting your life in a negative way, please don’t wait! We’re ready to help you take on the difficult tasks of managing your anger, developing positive coping mechanisms for trigger events, and helping you heal your relationships.
Facing challenges like anger management shouldn’t wait. That’s why at Thriveworks anger management counseling. The majority of our new clients are able to have a session scheduled within a week of reaching out to us.
