Anger Counseling
What is anger?
Anger is not good or bad. It is our behavior or response to anger that can cause difficulty. Anger can help us identify that something is wrong and also lead us to action. It is when anger becomes uncontrollable or affects our relationships, jobs or health that it can become a problem.
Treatment Approach for anger
We work with the client to identify the triggers that cause the anger, work though behaviors and other emotions and create positive coping skills, providing a release from this difficult emotion. We use several modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), relaxation techniques and more improving communication skills, problem solving, self-care and creating boundaries with difficult situations or people.
Benefits of Anger Management
- Improved relationships
