Anger
PROFESSIONAL AND EFFECTIVE SUPPORT FOR ANGER MANAGEMENT ISSUES
While those struggling with depression or anxiety are typically treated with sympathy and understanding, when it comes to those with anger issues, the same is rarely true. However, anger can also be rooted in poor mental health and as such should also be approached with the same level of compassion.
Dealing with anger and finding strategies for coping with intense emotions or feelings that trigger angry outbursts is essential to both the sufferer and those around them.
Speaking with a psychologist for anger issues can help you identify the cause of these and work towards a happier, more fulfilling life free of regret over anger and rage.
Everyone experiences anger at times, however, if it is causing you to express yourself in ways that hurt yourself, others or objects this is not okay. If you answer yes to any of the following you may need help with anger management.
- Has your anger caused problems in your relationships or at work?
- Do you struggle to control your behaviour or actions when you're angry?
- Have you ever experienced regret over something you have said or done while angry?
- While angry have you ever damaged things or become violent or abusive?
- Have other people mentioned your anger to you and suggested it might be a problem?
It is important to recognise that while chronic or extreme anger is a serious issue, it does not have to define you and help is available.
