Anger Management

Anger is a normal emotion, but it can become a problem when it feels difficult to control, damages relationships or leads to reactions you later regret. Anger can also be connected to anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, burnout, feeling disrespected or having difficulty expressing other emotions.   

 You may be looking for anger-management therapy if you experience:

•    Frequent irritability or a short temper

•    Verbal outbursts or escalating arguments

•    Feeling immediately defensive

•    Difficulty calming down once activated     •    Breaking, hitting or throwing objects

•    Conflict with a partner, children or coworkers

•    Anger while driving

•    Resentment that continues to build

•    Feeling ashamed or guilty after an argument

•    Emotional shutdown or withdrawal •    Fear that anger may damage important relationships

•    Workplace stress or burnout that comes out as anger 

Our therapists provide practical, nonjudgmental support. We do not view you as an “angry person.” We help you understand what happens before, during and after an angry reaction so that you can recognize triggers, slow down escalation and respond more effectively.  

Treatment may incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy-informed strategies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, emotional-regulation skills, communication work and trauma-informed therapy when past experiences are contributing to current reactions.
