Anger Management Therapy and Treatment
Some of Anger’s many forms:
• Road Rage
• Arguments with loved ones, co-workers, or strangers
• Demanding, controlling language
• Throwing and/or breaking things
• Violence
If you are having problems because your anger is getting out of control, you are not alone.An estimated twenty percent of Americans share this problem, whether it comes in the form of near explosions at work, on the road, or in personal or professional relationships marked by conflict.
Anger is a natural response to the thwarting of a desire, such as the desire for safety, success, or love. It cares about you and your desire. However, the way we handle the anger at times can completely sabotage our ability to achieve our goals. It may take us down the road of missing job promotions and other opportunities, job loss, divorce, substance abuse, car accidents, violence, jail, or even death. No one wants to take those paths deliberately, but aggressive anger that grows more problematic can do just that. (You may also want to get more info about domestic abuse/violence)
Choosing EMDR therapy can greatly help to desensitize one’s anger, the triggers for the anger, and the negative experiences in which one learned to be angry and out of control. And the wonderful thing is that it doesn’t require a lot of talk, or a lot of homework!
EMDR can also help one to learn new skills to prevent out-of-control aggression or anger. It will help you learn self-care of your emotions, assertive communication about your needs, and realistic attitudes and expectations of others. It is healthy to express needs in a non-angry way. Yet, we must learn: we cannot demand that our needs be met. We will never be happy if we know our demands are met solely because the other person felt he or she had no choice in the matter.
We hope you will check out our EMDRIA-Certified EMDR Therapists who are anger specialists. Make the call for help today, so you can have a future where anger no longer plays the part of a prominent “bad guy/gal,” but instead a small and healthy supporting role.
