When you feel angry, are you able to control how you express yourself? Or, are you more likely to explode? If you’re the latter, it’s okay, don’t be ashamed!

Instead of lashing out at your loved ones, learn to speak calmly about your emotions. A Thriveworks in Leominster, MA anger management counselor can help you do so. Just give us a call to schedule your first appointment.

What Is Anger Management? Do I Have Anger Issues?

An important part of anger management counseling is understanding the roots of your anger. We explored a few triggers above, but let’s gain a better, more comprehensive understanding. Here’s a list of internal and external events that often make one feel angry:

  1. Internal events: These include self-perceived failures as well as frustrations or injustices
  2. External events: These include loss of privileges, bullying, or humiliation

It’s okay to feel angry, but the way you react to these maddening circumstances is what makes a difference. For example, you should not start verbal arguments or physical fights with people as a result of your anger; you also shouldn’t internalize your anger, as that can lead to depression and have other negative effects on your mental health. It’s all about finding that in between, which involves clearly and calmly expressing how you feel to all parties involved. We know, this is easier said than done. If you need help managing and expressing your anger, attend anger management counseling at Thriveworks in Leominster, MA. Let us help.

How Does Anger Management Counseling Work?

It will also serve as a safe place for you to talk about your anger and release other emotions that you have bottled up inside. Your anger management counselor will assess your angry tendencies and reactions and then help you have more productive responses. This will involve increasing your self-awareness, especially when you begin to feel angry. You’ll then learn how to use this as a map that will guide your responses.

Anger management counseling often incorporates many different techniques into treatment, which will help people develop healthier ways for dealing with anger, including:

  • Meditation and mindfulness

I think Shamni is great. She builds a good rapport with her clients and can bounce between upbeat and serious. I would appreciate if there was better updating of availability of therapists on third party sites.

I appreciate the fact that my therapist wants me to do more for myself and do things that are for me instead of always doing for other people. I also like the fact that Thriveworks has videos to watch to help with specific issues. I'm starting to watch some and it's very helpful so far.
