Starting Anger management therapy

Can you get a therapist for anger issues?

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.

How does anger management therapy work?

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.

What are the 5 keys to controlling 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.

What is the best therapy for anger management?

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.

Is anger management therapy conducted in person or online?

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.

How many sessions do I need for anger management?

Often, Anger management therapy lasts between 4-6 weeks. However, it can last longer, dependent on the individual’s needs.

Anger Management in Chesapeake, VA—Counselors and Therapists

Do you feel like your out-of-control anger is taking over you and your life? Everything is triggering that fiery feeling inside of you and you are always pushing your anger onto everyone and everything. You might think: Why hold in my anger? Isn’t it good to release my anger when I get mad? Well, your anger could potentially have a negative impact on the way people see you, impair your judgment, and get in the way of your success.

We all have our triggers.  But the roots of our anger can be labeled as one of two categories:  internal and external events.  Internal events that might trigger an angry reaction include self-perceived failures and frustrations, while external events include public humiliation and loss.  Both internal and external events, such as the previously mentioned, can result in anger but anger doesn’t always take the same form.  Anger can come out in forms such as tantrums and outbursts, but it can also build up internally and lead to sulking or even depressive symptoms.

In any case, if you aren’t managing your anger properly, it’s important that you get anger management help. Consider working with a professional at Thriveworks Chesapeake. We have skilled, caring providers who specialize in helping individuals with their anger. Reach out today to get started.

Do I Need Anger Management Help?

Anyone who thinks that they could better manage their anger can benefit from working with a counselor or therapist.  However, the following individuals may find anger management particularly beneficial:

  • People who display violent behavior when angry
  • Individuals who display bullying behavior
  • Those battling substance dependency
  • People with mental illnesses that cause difficult behavioral changes
  • People with mental illnesses that make it especially difficult to control emotions

The first step in managing your anger is realizing that you have a problem and that there is a need for improvement. While it might be hard to admit that you could benefit from some help, it’s incredibly important and the decision to do so will be well worth it.
