Yes, there are therapists who help with anger via Anger management therapy. It’s a therapeutic process that an individual goes through to manage their anger and identify its triggers. They’re given clear instructions on how to improve their angry behavior as well as a safe space for opening up about their emotions.
Once an individual’s triggers are identified, anger management therapy focuses on helping the individual process and respond to these emotions in a more positive and productive manner. The anger management therapist will provide coping strategies and ultimately help their client take back control of their anger.
The five keys to mastering anger include identifying triggers, pausing before reacting, calmly expressing emotions, discovering constructive outlets for frustration, and seeking professional assistance if necessary. Acquiring these skills through Anger management therapy empowers individuals to effectively manage and navigate their anger.
The best therapy for anger management often involves cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps individuals identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior related to anger.
Anger management therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Often, Anger management therapy lasts between 4-6 weeks. However, it can last longer, dependent on the individual’s needs.
Being angry can, for a moment, feel good. It’s an opportunity to release pent-up thoughts and emotions, and that release can feel cathartic. Unfortunately, frequent or uncontrollable anger can have negative ramifications that outweigh the pleasure of momentary catharsis. If this sounds familiar, it’s time to contact Thriveworks Grand Rapids counselors for anger management therapy.
We’ve helped many people get help for their anger problems, and many of those people initially felt uncertain about the idea of getting help. In fact, many who struggle with anger problems may feel angry about getting anger counseling. Sometimes, the best way to combat these feelings is to understand exactly what you’re getting into. Read on, and contact us when you’re ready. We’re here to help.
Anger is an emotion – it is not something to be ashamed of. Part of anger counseling is helping clients understand the difference between the feeling of anger – which is normal – and the way that anger is handled. For most people, choosing to react to anger aggressively or excessively is where the problem lies. Counselors don’t try to prevent people from feeling this emotion – they simply give them tools to handle it in a healthy way.
There are many causes of anger. Some clients only experience anger in certain situations or in response to specific individuals. Others feel anger and don’t know where it comes from. Memories can also be a strong trigger for anger. Understanding the underlying cause of the anger – and not just the trigger itself – is part of the process of anger counseling.
At Thriveworks Grand Rapids, your anger therapist will work with you to determine what’s at the core of your anger struggles. Is there an unresolved issue from your past that needs to be addressed? Are you suffering from unprocessed trauma? Or perhaps you grew up in an angry household and have normalized unhealthy behaviors. Whatever the cause, Thriveworks Grand Rapids counselors have seen it all, and we know you can get relief from the pain of your anger problems.
Everyone needs a different blueprint to move forward. Your counselor will work closely with you to understand where you are today and where you’d like to be. Together you’ll come up with a treatment plan. However, it typically begins with the counselor assessing the client based on their anger triggers, the way the client responds to anger, and how often a person experiences intense anger. From that assessment, we’ll be able to determine where on the spectrum of severity your issues fall. Once we know that, we can develop a plan to help you overcome your struggle.
Your goals will vary based on your needs. Common goals of anger counseling include assisting clients in understanding what their triggers are and how to respond to them without aggression, teaching clients problem-solving skills that empower them, and helping clients find ways to relax and stay calm when they’re angry.
Thriveworks Grand Rapids, Forest Hills Counseling & Coaching has the solutions to your anger problems. With a personalized approach, we can provide coaching for your exact needs. We don’t keep a waiting list, and we can usually see new clients within a week of their call. We also offer evening and weekend sessions, and accept most major insurances.
