Most people realize they need help with managing their anger because there’s been a situation where their anger got out of control.

Very often people think they need to control their anger by putting a lid on it, but this normally doesn’t work very well. Anger is an emotion we need, but it comes from anxiety and frustration with your life. In general it will bubble over if you just try to suppress it.

IMPORTANT: We do not provide “Court-mandated” anger management – that is something different altogether. While we can support you while you complete your court mandated program, mental health therapy does not fill that requirement.

The length of time it takes to learn to manage your anger often depends on your family history, and how long you’ve been experiencing these feelings of anger and rage.

The first step is for you to face the things you get angry about, and to figure out whether you have control over these things. You don’t really have any control over how someone else thinks, behaves, or treats you.

Relationships are one of the main sources for a fulfilling life. Learning to manage your anger and frustration will help you with all relationships, but especially with your most intimate relationships.

Anger problems are an indication that your life is not totally fulfilling to you, and that positive changes could improve things for you. Learning to regulate your anxiety, frustration and anger will certainly lead to a more fulfilling and wholehearted life.
