Anger Management Counseling

Don’t let your anger issues control your life. 

Are your anger issues out of control? Do you often find yourself fuming with rage with the slightest trigger? You start feeling so amped up and bottled up inside that it seems like the only thing to do is to explode and let it all out. Isn’t it healthy to vent out? Yes, in some cases. But not as a way of controlling anger. Although it may seem to feel good in the beginning, you’ll only feel bad about another explosion later on. You have already sworn you’ll stop having these outbursts over the smallest problems. But here you are again on a vicious cycle. Words just come rushing out your mouth as loud as your lungs could go, or you stop talking and just shut down for a few days. 

You’re tired of having to defend yourself from being always angry, and your loved ones are tired of dealing with your anger issues all the time. Every petty fight you have with your loved one is always blown out of proportion because you always “lose it.” 

That’s the thing about anger problems. They build up quick and fast, and you explode before you even know it. 

Do I have anger issues?

Like any other emotion, anger is a normal emotional response triggered by an upsetting or threatening situation. But when your anger starts to escalate into verbal or physical violence, and it starts affecting your life, you might want to consider getting anger management help. 

Anger management problems is not a disorder in itself. It is often a sign or symptom of an underlying mental health issue such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder or OCD, and alcoholism. For people with bipolar disorder, bipolar rage or bipolar anger is a very common side. Learn more about bipolar anger here.

Anger problems are expressed in different ways. People who have anger issues are not always punching a wall or screaming at someone. Anger can be passive or aggressive. Passive anger is manifested through sarcastic comments and sulking. Aggressive anger is more obvious and is shown through violent outbursts like punching a wall or screaming.
