Starting Anger management therapy in Raleigh

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.

Anger Management Counseling at Thriveworks Raleigh, NC in Wake County

Some people experience passive anger and may not even realize they are angry. With this type of anger, emotions may be displayed as sarcasm, apathy or meanness. They may participate in self-defeating behaviors, such as skipping school or work, alienating friends and family or performing poorly in professional or social situations. To an outsider, it looks like the person is intentionally sabotaging themselves, but the individual may not even realize it or be able to explain their actions.

For a decade, Thriveworks in Raleigh, NC has worked with thousands of people with anger issues to learn about personal anger cues/triggers, develop skills and strategies to express feelings in healthy ways, practice problem-solving and help them recognize the triggers that cause the anger. Thriveworks’ experienced therapists work with them to help to determine the best anger management treatment plan so they can enjoy healthier lives, both mentally and physically. Reach out today to get started.

How Do People Deal With Anger?

There are three ways of dealing with anger, including expressing, suppressing and calming.

1. To express feelings of anger, you need to shift from aggressive to assertive behavior. It begins with learning to make clear what your needs are and how to obtain them without hurting others in the process. Being assertive does not mean being demanding or pushy; rather, it is being respectful of yourself and others.

2. When you suppress anger, you hold it in, stop thinking about it and focus on something positive. The mission is to suppress the anger and convert it into constructive behavior—rather than destructive behavior. Once the anger subsides, the issue that caused it can be expressed clearly, thoughtfully and respectfully. When the issue can be brought up again and discussed—not by yelling—a conversation can take place. It is not healthy or productive to keep all the anger inside and just brush it away. Instead, wait a while until you are in control of your emotions and then proceed to calmly address the issue.

3. In calming, the feelings of anger are building, but you focus on calming yourself down inside. You control outward behavior and inward responses. In order to do this, you can breathe slowly to lower your heart rate, focus on something peaceful (art, nature) or count to 10—or 20 or 30 if you need more time.

Tips to Control Anger

There are many ways to help curb your anger. The following techniques may work for you the next time you feel overwhelming anger.

  • Breathe deeply.
  • Slowly repeat a word or phrase, such as “relax” or “be calm.” Take deep breaths in between the phrases.
  • Visualize a relaxing experience.
  • Try yoga exercises that work to relax your mind and calm you down.
  • Try to switch the angry thoughts with rational ones. Instead of thinking, “This is so terrible,” turn it into a more positive statement, such as “It’s frustrating and I’m upset, but it’s not the end of the world. Getting angry is not going to help with this problem anyway.”
  • Remind yourself that the world is not out to get you, and this is just a rough spot in your life.
  • Talk to somebody you trust, and let them know how you are feeling.
