Anger Management: Regain Control and Build Healthier Relationships
Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by anger? Does the way you express your anger leave you and those around you feeling scared, embarrassed, or confused? Are your reactions negatively impacting your personal and professional relationships, or leading to legal difficulties?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, our Certified Anger Management Facilitator can help. Our sessions provide a safe and confidential space to understand and manage your anger effectively.
What to Expect in Anger Management Sessions:
- Understanding Your Anger: We will explore the specific incidents that led you to seek counseling, helping you identify your personal triggers and the early warning signs (cues) that precede your anger.
- Identifying Unproductive Behaviors: Together, we will examine the ways you currently express your anger and identify patterns that are not serving you or your relationships.
- Developing Coping and Management Skills: You will learn practical and effective techniques to manage your anger in the moment, communicate your needs assertively, and develop healthier emotional responses.
- Addressing Responsibility and Impact: We will explore the impact of your anger on yourself and others involved, fostering a sense of accountability and promoting healthier interactions.
The number of sessions required will depend on the nature of the incidents and any specific requirements from your workplace, the court, or other agencies. We will discuss this during your initial consultation.
