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.
When you feel angry, are you able to control how you express yourself? Or, are you more likely to explode? If you’re the latter, it’s okay, don’t be ashamed! Many people have anger issues and struggle to control their emotions. Everyone has different ticks, but common triggers for these individuals include: Traffic, long lines, injustice, insults, misinformation, and physical threats.

If you suffer from anger issues and could benefit from anger management counseling, consider working with an anger management counselor at Thriveworks Counseling in Leominster, MA.

It’s okay to feel angry, but the way you react to these maddening circumstances is what makes a difference. For example, you should not start verbal arguments or physical fights with people as a result of your anger; you also shouldn’t internalize your anger, as that can lead to depression and have other negative effects on your mental health.

If you need help managing and expressing your anger, attend anger management counseling at Thriveworks in Leominster, MA. Let us help.
