Anger Issues

Blowing up or losing your cool once in a while doesn’t necessarily mean you have an anger issue. But if you find yourself experiencing long-term feelings of anger or rage, which may also include aggressive, violent or self-destructive behaviors, you may be facing an anger management issue. Those experiencing anger issues may also have physical symptoms including high blood pressure, headaches, or fatigue. Whether your anger issue is caused by stress, genetics, hormones or your current environment, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Contact one of our specialists today.

My graduate training and field experience included running many anger management groups for teens. The breadth of my academic and continuing education, combined with practice experience with patients, has provided me with better understanding than most of this vital, often helpful emotion. It mobilizes and protects us. This is not a "bad" emotion, and it doesn't make someone a "bad" person. What we do when we are angry, however, matters, and not all behaviors are helpful, and many are hurtful.

Anger management is about acknowledging, understanding, and regulating intense emotions constructively. It involves developing self-awareness to identify triggers, employing coping mechanisms, and practicing healthy communication. Techniques such as deep breathing, mindfulness, and cognitive restructuring help redirect negative energy. Therapy provides valuable tools to explore the root causes of anger, fostering long-term emotional regulation and healthier interpersonal relationships.
