At Spring Garden Counseling Inc., we offer anger management therapy to our clients. One phrase we often hear from our clients in anger management therapy is “I shouldn’t be this angry.” While many people feel shame around the anger they experience, anger is a normal human emotion. And the shame that often comes with anger can make things worse and prevent those experiencing excessive anger from finding a healthy way to manage it.
All human emotions serve a purpose, including anger. This emotion can signal when our boundaries are being crossed, when injustice is occurring, or when a change needs to occur. Problems can happen when this anger is ignored, suppressed, or expressed in ways that harm others or ourselves. This is where anger management therapy can help; this type of therapy isn’t meant to suppress your anger but help you understand it, respond to it appropriately, and channel it constructively.
During anger management therapy sessions, we work with our clients to identify the root causes of their anger, which are often tied to stress, trauma, or unmet needs. If you turn to us for this type of therapy, we will equip you with tools for communicating, self-regulating, and deepening your emotional awareness.
We want you to know that there is no shame in needing support to manage intense emotions and that seeking help is a powerful and courageous first step. If your anger is affecting your well-being, relationships, or work, contact us today to set up an anger management therapy appointment.
