How Does Anger Management Counseling Work?

When you begin anger management, your Thriveworks counselor will help you identify any triggers as well as familiarize yourself with common signs of anger. This is a huge step in learning to control your anger. Start thinking about the following to kickstart the process:

  1. What makes you feel stressed? Stress often triggers or exacerbates anger. Common stressors include traffic and arguments with others.
  2. How do you feel physically when you’re angry? You likely exhibit physical signs of anger that can help you better understand when this emotion is creeping in. For example, your jaw might tighten or your heartrate might pick up.
  3. How do you feel emotionally when you’re angry? You probably exhibit some emotional signs of anger, too! Do you feel like you’re holding something back? Do you feel the need to yell or scream?

Don’t worry, your anger management counselor can help you work through the above questions. They will do everything they can to help you better manage and control your anger.
