DO YOU GET EASILY IRRITATED AND ANGRY?

Do you find yourself frequently struggling with anger? Does it feel like it's preventing you from reaching your potential? If so, you may understand how anger can build up and trigger intense reactions over perceived insults or negative experiences.

You are not alone in this struggle.

CAN THERAPY HELP WITH ANGER?

Anger is an innate human emotion, yet it can become a major issue when experienced intensely, for prolonged periods of time, or when difficult to control. Such extreme anger is usually caused by a sense of unfairness or lack of acknowledgement from external factors. These intense emotional outbursts can have disastrous effects if not controlled properly. If you are having difficulty controlling your anger, you may display some of the following behaviors:

Rapid pacing and perspiring

withdraw from conversations

Aggressive and / or violent reactions

Clenched fists and face

Shaking due to intensity of emotion

"Blowing up" in anger

Heavy breathing and possibly even experiencing memory loss during the outburst

If any of these apply to you, seeking help for anger management is a perfectly normal and beneficial choice. I strongly suggest that you reach out for help as soon as possible - whether it's online or in-person - so we can tailor together an individualized plan that works for you.
