Anger Is A Difficult Emotion To Control…
Anger is a natural human emotion, but when it feels constant and unrelenting, it may be a sign of something more. Life doesn’t always happen the way you want or need, and anger is a natural response to feeling wronged. But how do you know if you need help managing that emotion?
According to the Zebra and National Library of Medicine, roughly 7.8% of people living in the US have intense, poorly controlled, or inappropriate levels of anger.
Are you experiencing poor control of your anger or negative emotions? Does anger tend to be your default response? Do you recognize that your angry reaction might be incongruent to the circumstances you are in? According to scientists, prolonged and extreme anger can exacerbate existing health problems, as well as affect the way we react to certain issues. Anger responses can cause a ripple effect throughout the body: from the cardiovascular system to your nervous system.
Anger management therapy addresses the root cause of the problem and helps our clients develop effective coping strategies for managing emotion. Our team of therapists recognize that anger can have devastating effects on both physical and mental health, as well as on relationships. Our therapists use evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness exercises to identify and challenge negative thoughts and behavior patterns that may contribute to heightened levels of anger. If you’re looking for support in managing your anger, we are here for you.
