Anger Counseling in Conway, AR—Anger Management Counselors, Therapists

Anger isn’t always a bad thing. It’s an emotion that everybody experiences now and then. However, when it gets out of control or turns destructive, it can lead to problems in relationships and with co-workers, as well as the overall quality of life.

People who experience anger issues often feel they’re not in control of themselves. Anger counseling can help give them that control back. At Thriveworks Conway, AR anger counseling the professionally-licensed and credentialed therapists and counselors work with people to teach them how to deal with their anger and express it in healthy ways. Reach out today to get started.

What Is Anger?

Anger is an emotion that can vary between mild irritation to intense rage. When people react in a way that is more intense and aggressive than what is necessary in the situation, they may physically hurt others or themselves.

Some people take their frustrations out on inanimate objects, punching doors or kicking walls. There are times when people aggressively argue and call other people disrespectful names, give contemptuous looks and make menacing gestures. At times, people may keep the anger bottled up inside of themselves, constantly think about the situation that made them angry or plan to retaliate. These individuals may benefit from anger management therapy at Thriveworks in Conway, AR.

What Causes Anger?

Anger is not a problem in itself. It is a normal emotion that can come from feelings of frustration, hurt, annoyance and disappointment. The trouble is when a person’s anger becomes uncontrollable and he gets carried away, which leads to the loss of reason and rationality. The result can be erratic behavior, violence, abuse, addictions and even trouble with the law.
Anger can be caused by internal and external issues. In some cases, anger is directed at a specific person or event, and in other instances it’s caused by worrying about personal issues. Memories of traumatic or enraging events can also trigger anger.

How Does Anger Counseling Work?

Counselors use tests that measure the intensity of your feelings, how you handle feelings and how prone to anger you are. The reality is that if you think you have an anger problem, it is likely that you do. If you’ve ever felt out of control and frightened by your own anger, it may benefit you to find help to better deal with it. Anger counselors can work with you to find ways to handle your anger.

Each person’s treatment plan is based on their individual needs. An anger counselor will work with you to:

  • Recognize triggers.
  • Learn how to better respond to triggers without becoming aggressive.
  • Teach specific skills to better manage triggers.
  • Identify times when thoughts don’t lead to logical conclusions.
  • Change your way of thinking and reacting in specific triggering situations.
  • Teach you to relax, stay calm and be peaceful even when you feel surges of anger.
  • Teach when and how to be assertive. Being more expressive about needs can help you to feel more in control of situations.
  • Teach problem-solving techniques to help you to feel empowered, which, in turn, lowers the risk of anger triggers.

I appreciate Ms. Kirra's therapeutic approach. This was my first session and I am pleased with it. She went over all legal disclosures and ensured I fully understood prior to moving forward. She also ensured she answered all my questions during her Intake prior to moving into my reasons for seeking counseling. Ms. Kirra also was able to build an initial rapport with me to help me get comfortable with her and help me to slowly remove barriers in order for me to feel safe with sharing my emotions. Thanks!
