Starting Anger management therapy

Can you get a therapist for anger issues?

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.

How does anger management therapy work?

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.

What are the 5 keys to controlling 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.

What is the best therapy for anger management?

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.

Is anger management therapy conducted in person or online?

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.

How many sessions do I need for anger management?

Often, Anger management therapy lasts between 4-6 weeks. However, it can last longer, dependent on the individual’s needs.

Do I Have Anger Issues? How Can Anger Management Help?

Anger management counseling aims to help people understand and work through their anger. It’s as simple as that. For example, your Thriveworks counselor can help you understand your triggers, such as:

  • Self-perceived failures
  • Frustrations
  • Injustices
  • Loss
  • Privilege
  • Humiliation

It’s okay to feel angry, as a result of the above triggers or other triggers. However, the way that you react and express your emotions is what you need to pay attention to. For example, if you react to maddening circumstances by inciting violence or picking fights with other people, you are not responding to your anger in a healthy way. While you shouldn’t internalize this anger, you should find a way to process your emotions and express them in a better way. We know it’s easier said than done, that’s why Thriveworks Counseling in Fairfield offers anger management counseling.

How Does Anger Management Counseling Work?

Anger management counseling will give you a clear direction for better understanding and expressing your anger. Your counselor will be sure to provide you with the safe, comfortable space that you need to open up about your feelings and make progress in therapy. Additionally, they will evaluate your angry tendencies to then provide you with examples of more productive responses to anger.

Anger management counseling can incorporate different therapeutic techniques into your treatment plan, which will work together to help you develop healthier ways for dealing with your anger. These techniques can include:

  • Meditation
  • Mindfulness
  • Deep-breathing
  • Journaling
  • Impulse control
