What Are Anger Issues? Do I Need Anger Help?

We have all felt extreme anger at one point or another. Think: When your brother played a prank on you and your friends; when your dad snooped on your texts or AIM messages; when your significant other lied about what they were doing or who they were hanging out with. Anger is a natural emotion, one that results from pain and/or frustration. That being said, it can take over our lives if we don’t learn to manage it properly. Common signs that we feel angry is an increase in heart rate, fast breathing, and hot flashes. It is crucial that you are in tune with your body and these indicators of anger so that can prepare yourself for this emotion.

Some people know that they are a “hothead,” while others struggle to acknowledge or admit that they might have anger issues. If you aren’t positive where you fall on this spectrum, consider the following indicators of out-of-control anger:

  • You always argue with friends, family members, coworkers, acquaintances
  • You experience anger on a regular basis and have to stop yourself from engaging in angry outbursts
  • You become physically violent sometimes or often when angry
  • You engage in reckless behavior like slamming doors or throwing things

If the following describe you, you likely have some anger issues that need to be managed. Fortunately, you are in the right place and we have professionals that can help you immediately. If you are in Milford, CT or the surrounding area, consider working with an anger management therapist or counselor at Thriveworks Counseling. We’re here to help you.

Gina is an incredibly skilled and talented clinician. She has the unique gift of making clients immediately feel safe and understood even upon first meeting. Her passion for the work is palpable. Her knowledge is vast and her approach is sensitive, gentle, supportive and compassionate, yet direct. Gina helped me navigate a tremendously challenging time in my life and afforded me the confidence to pursue personal goals that had initially felt unattainable. She taught me tangible skills to navigate anxiety and feelings of overwhelm during our work together and our sessions were always insightful and productive. Gina will lead you on a path to self discovery without all of the therapy lingo and jargon and will always help you to feel as though you’re the expert on your own life- because you are. I couldn’t recommend Gina more. A true diamond in the rough!
