  • You struggle or fail to hold back your angry outbursts

  • You become irritated and frustrated quickly
  • You constantly argue with others
  • You even get physically violent with others
  • You go as far as damaging property
  • You engage in overall reckless behavior

How Does Counseling for Anger Management Work?

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.

Overall, the experience has been good but my nurse practitioner forgot to refill my medication prescription before Christmas and now I’m out, waiting for everyone to get back from the holidays. I understand mistakes happen, but it super important to not forget to refill patient medications … that is something I don’t think deserves a lot of wiggle room for mistakes because it so fundamental to this profession.
