Anger Therapy

Anger is a complex and powerful emotion that everyone experiences at different points in life. It can range from mild irritation to intense rage, and how we manage and express anger can significantly impact our relationships and overall well-being.

What is the big deal about anger?

Anger, like any emotion, is great! Emotions are indicators of what is going on with you. Their function is not to dictate your behaviors. Feeling anger can alert you to:

• When you are feeling threatened or endangered (perceived threats)
• When your desires or goals are repeatedly thwarted (frustration)
• Witnessing or experiencing unfair treatment (injustice)
• Feeling powerless (lack of control)
• Fear, sadness, shame, etc. (underlying emotions)

While anger itself is not bad, unaddressed anger, allowed to build up, fester and come out as destructive behavior, can lead to unpleasant circumstances like:

• Strained relationships
• Increased stress and tension
• Health problems
• Impaired ability to make decisions and solve problems
• Legal/professional repercussions
