Anger

Anger is a normal human reaction to many of life’s circumstances. However, when anger is repeatedly expressed inappropriately or when it becomes the dominant emotion in our lives anger can rob us of healthy relationships and joy. Frequent angry reactions can disrupt otherwise healthy relationships at home, work or school.

Counseling for Anger

Counseling and therapy for anger, sometimes called Anger management, can provide you with coping strategies for dealing with the situations that often cause you to react in angry ways. Counseling can help you to identify the triggers of your anger and teach you to apply healthy coping techniques when you feel triggered to anger.

Counseling and therapy for anger can also help you to identify any underlying issues that might be contributing to your anger. Through the use of Cognitive Behavioral techniques you can learn to identify and express your emotions more easily so that anger is not your primary response to demanding or unfair situations. CBT or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has been proven effective in the treatment of a wide range of issues including anger management.

Counselor Rick A. Combs combines CBT with traditional talk therapy to address your symptoms of anger (how your anger is affecting your life), your behaviors (how you respond to anger), and your thoughts (what you tell yourself that perpetuates your anger). Through Rick’s combined approach to anger counseling you will learn to respond assertively without being aggressive and how to resolve conflict and control anger so that anger is no longer controlling you.
