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.
There are different ways to learn about anger management, but often, the most effective is working with an anger management counselor. These professionals have put time and hard work into learning skills, completing training, and gaining experience in anger management help. And they’re ready to utilize this toolbox to help you!
If you believe that you could find value in anger management, consider working with an anger management professional at Thriveworks Atlanta, GA. Many of our mental health professionals specialize in helping people with their anger issues, and they can help you too. They’ll likely lead you in discussions about how you’ve reacted to anger-inducing circumstances in the past and then teach you how to better respond in similar circumstances today. To schedule your appointment with one of our anger professionals, just call (678) 804-7374.
In any setting, anger management helps people identify when they are beginning to feel angry, relax, and then respond appropriately. Ideally, the individual should be able to stay in control of their behaviors. Now, you might need some anger management help if the following list describes you:
If you do struggle to keep your anger in check, don’t worry. A lot of people have anger issues, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. However, you should take it seriously and get the help that you need to control it. You can find that help here at Thriveworks Atlanta.
Anger management can be worked on in individual therapy as well as couples therapy and group therapy. For example, if your anger is impacting your loved ones, your counselor might recommend they come to counseling with you (at least for a session or two). In addition, the duration of treatment will depend on your specific needs. It could last several weeks or several months; your counselor will assess your needs and then make a recommendation.
When you start counseling for anger management, your Thriveworks counselor will work with you to identify your triggers and (as we mentioned earlier) better understand when you’re starting to experience anger.
