Anger can be rooted in many places and is a natural response to one's lack of control in a situation that feels treating. Finding the source of your anger can be helpful in regulating this emotion. If anger has clinical components (certain disorders), a medicinal approach might be considered in treatment. There is hope for you if you are struggling with uncontrollable anger. Let's talk about it.
In my experience if a client experiences outbursts of anger or just feeling angry all the time they probably experienced something in their past that made them feel out of control, powerless, hopeless, or scared. Anger is often a way people protect themselves in an attempt to never feel those things again. But eventually, the anger that used to be a helpful coping skill becomes a problem. I can help you reduce your anger through EMDR therapy which will desensitize those experiences that made you feel out of control and help you process those memories in way that prevents them from being triggered again.
Anger issues aren’t uncommon and the first step towards change is an admittance of the problem. Learning to stop isn’t as simple as some may think, but together we can come up with a game plan tailored exclusively to you.
