ANGER MANAGEMENT


​Anger is a very normal experience that we can all feel from time to time. Anger can a result of of feeling, let down, hurt, or unheard.

Anger is often due to bereavement/loss, stress, or trauma. So, it's important that your therapist understands the roots of it, and has a sound knowledge of how to work with trauma, and underlying conditions of anger.

Anger can be displayed in your your:

  • Thoughts - you may runminate dwelling on things that are getting to you
  • Emotions - as well as anger you may feel guilt or shame for getting angry
  • Behaviour/s - throwing, slamming, shouting
  • Physical sensations - chest pains are common with anger

Anger can be detrimental to self, a lot of people with high levels of anger 'shoot themselves in the foot' which creates even more frustration, and the anger cycle continuing. Often good people don't want to be or behave in angry ways, it's like an unconscious reflex - it just seems to come up from nowhere sometimes - and we are left feeling ashamed about it trying to repress it in the future which can lead to many complications.

Dr. Gabor Mate a world leading physician has found that repressed, un-expressed, or unresolved anger can be the cause of physical illness, from cancer to autoimmune conditions and many other chronic diseases: See here: https://drgabormate.com/topic/mindbody-health/

What can you benefit?

I'm not here to stop you being angry, and I'm not here to patronise you by telling you to count to 10, "chill out" or breath.
 
When people are able to process, and work on underlying causes of anger they often find that their anger reduces. This results in feeling healthier, more in control and an improved sense of well-being.
 
For over 6 years I run a specialist anger management service funded by the NHS. I found talking therapy and CBT were somewhat limited for a lot of people, so I learnt new exciting ways of helping people recover..

Anger management isn't really a 'course', it's not something that can be taught. The way I help people with anger management is to help you heal what needs healing, getting the cause of it, and really healing it so that anger rarely needs to raise it's head.
