Anger Management
Anger Management
Anger is your body's natural response to threats, injustice,
and disappointments. It often manifests as a result of
frustration, feeling that something or someone has done
wrong to you, or feeling blocked from something that is
important to you.
Anger Management is our prevention and control approach to therapy to help you deploy anger effectively and successfully
From an evolutionary psychology standpoint, anger is a necessary device or defense mechanism that gives us strength during moments of fear or powerlessness.
Our Goal
Anger Management therapy aims to provide you with the skills to communicate your anger in a healthy way and regulate uncomfortable emotions when they emerge.
Why Do We Have Anger?
There are many reasons why anger manifests within us, including:
Stress in our lives
Sleep deprivation
Demands from our jobs
Things are not going the way we want
To manipulate people or situation
Our important needs are not being met
Feeling that we are not treated fairly
Learning that anger can help us release tension
Feeling disrespected or not understood by others
Not getting our important needs met in situations

Destructive Anger/Rage is Unjustifiable
Learning how to manage our anger can be a challenge. However, taking responsibility for our behaviors and how they affect others is our duty.
When anger leads to complicated situations, it can become unmanageable or destructive and impacts our overall quality of life. You should not feel bad because you feel angry. However, anger is only back when it leads to reactions that can be detrimental to you and others.
