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.
When a person is angry, it affects everybody in the household. They may take their frustrations out on others, themselves, or objects. Some people argue aggressively, yell insulting names, give dirty looks or make threatening gestures.
The experienced therapists at Thriveworks in Nashville, TN have worked with thousands of people with uncontrollable anger to help them find the causes and triggers of their anger and healthy ways to respond to the triggers. They will work with individuals to find an anger management treatment plan in order for them to have happier marriages, family harmony, and more fulfilling lives. Reach out today to get started.
To monitor anger, it is important to know the cues that occur as a result of the event. The cues are the warning signs of anger. There are four cue categories, including physical, behavioral, emotional, and cognitive.
Physical Cues. This involves the way the body responds when you become angry. There may be tightness in the chest, a flushed feeling, or increased heart rate. These cues help to gauge that you are angry and it is continuing to get out of control.
Behavioral Cues. The behaviors displayed when you are angry are also seen by others. They include pacing back and forth, slamming doors, yelling, and fist-clenching.
Emotional Cues. These are feelings that may occur with anger. For some people, they become angry when they feel abandoned, guilty, impatient, jealous or disrespected. These are the primary feelings that are underlying anger, and they make you feel vulnerable.
Cognitive Cues. These are the thoughts you have in response to the event that made you angry. Some people may interpret events in one way, such as taking a spouse’s comment as a criticism. Or, sometimes, they interpret the actions of other people as humiliating or controlling. These thoughts—or “self-talk”—are like a conversation you have with yourself. People with anger problems are usually critical and hostile in their self-talk. In addition to self-talk are fantasies and images that can indicate the anger is escalating. These fantasies may be about getting revenge on a perceived enemy or imagining a spouse having an affair. These types of fantasies and images can cause anger to escalate quickly.
When you are angry often—and the anger is not managed—there are many consequences to your health. When the body experiences high levels of adrenaline and cortisol over long durations regularly, it can result in a variety of illnesses. Some of the health problems that you may experience are:
