Identifying Anger Management Issues
You may have an anger management issue if you are constantly angry and feeling the need to defend yourself. The slightest provocation might send you into a rage. You become aggressive when angry and your outbursts become increasingly difficult to control.
Anger is a natural response to certain situations. But when it becomes a regular reflex action, it can be highly problematic and destructive. It can affect your relationships, your job, your sense of well-being and even your health. How you manage and react to your feelings determines whether or not you have an anger management–related issue.
Some signs that you may have an Anger Management issue are:
- You are constantly angry
- You are always on the defensive
- Every little annoyance makes you mad
- You become verbally or physically aggressive when angry
- You are unable to control your outbursts
Among other techniques, our trained therapists will work with you, using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) strategies. These strategies will help you identify irrational, destructive thoughts or beliefs that are driving your anger and reframe them in a rational and positive way.
Our goal is to help you recognize when you are becoming angry, take action to calm down and to manage situation differently. We do not want to eliminate your anger, as this is a normal and healthy human emotion, but to have you express your thoughts and feelings is a more positive and constructive way.
