Therapy for Anger Management: Regaining Control and Building Healthy Responses

If you find yourself struggling with anger, reacting impulsively, or feeling overwhelmed by frustration, I offer a structured approach to help you regain control and develop healthier ways to respond to challenging situations. Through evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other therapeutic approaches, we work together to address the root causes of your anger and build lasting change.

Here’s how I can help:

1. Initial Assessment:

We begin by exploring the situations that trigger your anger and how it affects your life and relationships. This assessment helps us identify patterns of behavior, underlying emotions, and any unresolved issues contributing to your anger.

3. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Anger Triggers

Using CBT, we examine the thoughts and beliefs that fuel your anger. By identifying and challenging these thought patterns, we can help you develop more constructive ways of thinking and reacting, reducing your emotional reactivity in frustrating situations.

5. Exploring Root Causes with Psychodynamic Therapy

For some, anger stems from unresolved emotional pain or past experiences. Using Psychodynamic Therapy, we can explore these deeper issues, helping you uncover any underlying emotions or conflicts that contribute to your anger. Understanding these root causes allows for more meaningful, long-term change.

2. Developing a Personalized Plan:

Together, we create a clear, structured plan focused on reducing your anger and helping you respond in healthier ways. This plan will include setting goals for managing anger in real-time, building emotional regulation skills, and working on long-term strategies for maintaining control in difficult situations.

4. Emotional Regulation and Stress Managemen

Through techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness, we work on managing the intensity of your emotional responses. You’ll learn practical skills to recognize when anger is building and use techniques like deep breathing or grounding exercises to stay calm under pressure.

6. Ongoing Support and Accountability

I provide continuous support throughout the process, helping you track your progress and make adjustments as needed. Together, we’ll celebrate your successes, address any setbacks, and ensure that you stay on the path toward more positive, controlled reactions in your everyday life.
