Anger Management

Anger Management is a process through which a person learns strategies and techniques to deal more constructively with their anger.  The client works with a skilled practitioner to help them recognise the triggers and signs that result in their anger.  They are then taught strategies to intervene in displaying angry reactions which injure themselves or others.  Time is taken to explore the impact of your anger on others and how it negatively impacts on your life.

Treatment should always include an exploration of what your anger is all about.  This might sound strange (surely techniques to avoid it are enough?) but with uncontrollable anger or verbal or physical abuse of other people, identifying what ‘fuels’ the anger is important.  It is thus important to look at the causes of your anger as well as the symptoms.  By identifying the source of your anger,  uncontrollable anger can be experienced differently and demonstrated more constructively without harming others.
