Most people don't realize that anger is an addiction. It follows a predictable pattern that starts with the angry person being calm (which usually follows an angry outburst). The next stage is the tension mounting period which leads to another angry outburst. Then follows a period of remorse and the cycle repeats. Un-managed anger gets worse over time. Behavioral counseling will help you get your angry impulses under control. We will work to find healthier coping tools to manage your anger and get to the root of what typically triggers the anger cycle.
If you are "an angry guy/person", I don't believe you are a bad human being. Anger is an emotion that makes a lot of sense normally, and it comes from somewhere. Collaboratively, let's explore the roots of anger and figure out how we can develop strategies to not only cope, but release anger in a way that is healthier.

One can learn to manage their anger by learning skills to reduce initial reactions to triggers and understanding the connection between the feeling and the behavior.
Anger management teaches techniques to recognize anger signs, manage emotions, and channel feelings constructively. It focuses on understanding triggers, developing healthier coping mechanisms, and improving communication for better relationships and personal well-being. Effective anger management can reduce stress, enhance mental health, and improve overall quality of life.
When you work with me as your family therapist, you will come to understand that calm may not be the goal. Instead, we will be working towards regulation. Anger is often the result of low stress tolerance. Certain folks are just more easily pulled into dysregulation than others and this is not their fault. I like to say, "blame it on the brain." There are many ways to grow one's window of tolerance outside the heat of the moment. Together, we will be using movements, mindfulness, grounding, self-compassion and problem-solving tools to help individuals in families be more connected to themselves as well as each other.
In the safety of the therapy room, we can explore the triggers that precipitate your angry feelings and develop the skills you need to be able to handle them. We explore and target the other emotions entangled within anger, such as hurt, lack of control, shame, and fear.
