"I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood." ― The Animals, 1965 “Anger is a valid emotion. It's only bad when it takes control and makes you do things you don't want to do.” ― Ellen Hopkins, Fallout “When angry, count four. When very angry, swear.” ― Mark Twain

Anger issues refer to difficulties in managing and expressing anger in a healthy and constructive manner. Anger is a natural emotion that everyone experiences, but when it becomes intense, frequent, or leads to destructive behavior, it can significantly impact relationships, work, and overall well-being.

Dealing with serious anger issues are consumed with anger. These individuals can be defiant and may turn to violence, self-harm, risky behavior, and illegal activity as a way to cope with strong feelings. They may lash out with anger in response to outside stressors or an untreated or undiagnosed mental disorder.

Anger is often a trap that becomes too familiar and habitual. But anger is also a great motivator that helps us move mountains. How to find the golden mean where it is not dangerous, but empowers us to get things done? Mindfulness is a uniquely useful method for developing self-awareness whenever anger arises. Learning my individual anger triggers and cues is a good way to begin understanding how to shape my anger into the engine that creates better relationships and a joyful life.

When you’re triggered, the “thinking” part of your brain shuts down, the fight or flight response takes over, and you react in explosive, self-defeating and harmful ways. Guess what; it’s not your fault. You didn’t choose to be triggered, did you? It’s not your fault that your brain evolved to keep you safe and alive at any cost. Your brain evolved to react—without thinking—to keep you safe. We can reprocess and heal your triggers so you no longer overreact in the absence of genuine threat.

I have had hands-on training and have experience running a court ordered anger management group.

Anger is a normal emotion that all people experience. When anger becomes too consuming, occurs too often, destroys relationships, impacts health, or becomes physical, professional guidance may be helpful. Seeing a therapist for anger management may help you identify underlying emotions and triggers, learn to deal with difficult people, set boundaries, and improve conflict resolution skills. My anger management sessions are currently offered on a one-on-one basis.

Angry people are often misunderstood. I know the regret and shame that can come after losing your temper, yet again. While anger can bring out the worst parts of us that we usually like to keep hidden, it can also feel good to know that it keeps people from taking advantage or messing with us. Let's try to tame that anger so it feels like you're more in control of it, rather than the other way around.

Anger is an emotion and can be a good thing. It can give you a way to express negative feelings, but excessive anger can cause problems. The goal of this group therapy is to provide psychoeducation and therapeutic techniques to help explore, manage, and transform anger.
