FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is anger management?
Anger is a powerful emotion that ranges in severity from mild annoyance through intense fury. It’s also a perfectly normal and acceptable human emotion. Aggression is a natural way to express anger and can help you to fight or defend yourself.
However, if you are overwhelmed by anger and unable to control the way you express it, you may have a problem. It’s not helpful or safe to aggressively lash out every time you get mad about something.
Anger management is a specific type of therapy that teaches you to control and express your feelings. You can learn and practice the differences between being assertive and aggressive. And you can learn techniques to stop your anger from overwhelming you and how to redirect those emotions and energy toward healthy, constructive behaviors.
What causes anger issues?
If your anger is disrupting your life, it could stem from a perceived loss of power. You may feel powerless in anything ranging from pride and justice to money or even love.
Anger is a powerful emotion, and you may feel stronger and safer expressing your anger rather than the fear or sadness that could accompany it.
What should I expect from anger management?
Working with a therapist can help you learn to control your emotions, thus stopping your anger before it becomes an unstoppable force.
That’s not to say that you will stop feeling angry. The point of anger management therapy is to help you recognize your anger and express it appropriately.
During your sessions, you will explore situations and triggers and discuss strategies and techniques to acknowledge your emotions and control the way you express them.
