Do you feel angry all the time?

Do you feel like you can’t control your anger?  Is anger causing problems in your life?

Have you done things in anger that you later regret?

Maybe you don’t feel like you have anger problems but you’ve been told that you do.  You might make emotional reactions that hurt others or that you wish you could take back.  Maybe you feel like you’re always “venting” your frustrations but it never seems to get better.  Are you experiencing muscle tension, stomach problems or angry thoughts?  Do you find yourself frequently angry when driving?  Do other people’s behaviors frequently have the ability to ruin your day.  You might benefit from anger management counseling.

Anger can be an indicator of other underlying emotions or issues; too much stress or a feeling of loss of control or dissatisfaction with one’s life.  If you’re experiencing anger you could actually be over-stressed or depressed.  Anger might have become a habit or a coping mechanism that is no longer working.  We all feel anger sometimes.  Some anger is normal and healthy, but it can become overwhelming and get out of control.

Anger management counseling can help you to move on from anger, let go of hurts and not allow things to bother you so much.  It can help you to learn better coping skills and to feel calmer, more content and happier with your life.

Doubtful that therapy can help you?  Worried about talking about and sharing your “problems”?

People are often reluctant to try therapy because they worry about what it might mean about them.  Many fear that they must be weak if they cannot solve or endure their struggles on their own.  They may fear that they are sick or will be judged.

Enlisting help to solve your problems IS doing something for yourself and it is a smart and strong thing to do.  Going to therapy is a big step to take action and improve your life.  Participating in therapy is not about illness or being sick and it isn’t about having problems.  Anger management therapy is where you can learn to improve your life and take control.
