Who needs Anger Management Counseling?

Anger issues aren’t limited to those who display violent behavior. Anyone who is searching for anger management counseling near me can benefit from the therapy, including:

  • For those who often feel frustrated in their daily life or if anger is affecting their relationships, work performance, or overall well-being, TLC therapy can help.
  • Those who experience chronic anger leading to frequent outbursts or physical aggression require immediate attention.
  • Additionally, individuals who internalize their anger, resulting in self-harm or depression, should seek professional support to address these concerns effectively.

The Impact of Unhealthy Anger on Your Life

Unmanaged anger can harm many areas of your life, leading to emotional distress, health issues, strained relationships, and a diminished quality of life. Over time, anger can create a negative cycle, fueling more anger and depression.

Other possible impact of unhealthy anger on life includes:

  • Health Risks: Chronic anger triggers the body’s “fight or flight” response, raising heart rate and blood pressure, weakening the immune system, and increasing the risk of serious health problems like heart attacks.
  • Damaged Relationships: Excessive anger can cause conflicts, pushing loved ones and colleagues away. In extreme cases, it can lead to emotional or physical abuse, causing lasting harm to relationships.
  • Decreased Quality of Life: Constant anger prevents you from enjoying life, achieving your goals, and maintaining inner peace, leading to ongoing frustration and stress.

Anger management counseling at TLC can help break this cycle, improve emotional health, and restore balance to your life.

Does Anger Get Worse with Age?

Anger doesn’t automatically increase with age, but life changes can make managing it more challenging, especially for a young adult dealing with borderline personality disorder.

Aging can bring new stressors, such as health issues or reduced independence, which may amplify feelings of anger. Additionally, a reduced ability to handle stress might make outbursts more frequent or intense.

At TLC, we help individuals of all ages address anger triggers and develop strategies to manage emotions effectively. You can rely on us to feel the difference!

Can anger issues be fixed?

Absolutely. With the right tools and techniques, chronic anger issues can be managed effectively, as uncontrolled anger can lead to high blood pressure and other health concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a proven method that helps individuals understand how their thoughts and emotions drive their actions. By addressing these patterns, you can develop healthier ways to cope with anger and respond to stress.

At TLC, we focus on helping you channel anger into constructive expressions, ensuring it no longer controls your life. Learn to manage anger with confidence and improve your emotional well-being. Contact us now!

Type of Therapy Offered at Total Life Counseling for Anger Management

Are you struggling to find an effective solution to manage your anger? Several therapeutic approaches can effectively address anger management issues. At TLC, we provide therapies for:

1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Our counselors at TLC are skilled in guiding you through this transformative process, providing personalized strategies to help you manage anger effectively and improve your overall emotional well-being.

The key components of CBT for anger management at TLC include:

  • Learning to recognize anger-inducing thoughts and situations
  • Developing alternatives to aggressive responses
  • Practicing relaxation techniques and mindfulness
  • Seeking positive outlets to diffuse anger or frustration
  • Strengthening communication skills for practical expression of anger

2. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) can also be immensely beneficial when dealing with anger management. Our therapists work by teaching you new skills to handle emotional instability better, reduce self-destructive behaviors and improve relationships.

Key techniques in DBT for managing anger include:

  • Learning mindfulness and self-awareness techniques
  • Exploring opposite action strategies to change inappropriate expressions of anger
  • Understanding your thought patterns around anger, both internally (self-judgment) and externally (judging others)
  • Developing coping skills for efficient emotion regulation

3. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

At TLC, we use Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to help you manage anger by focusing on the present moment. Our approach encourages accepting your anger without judgment, allowing you to respond with balance and emotional clarity.

MBSR for anger management includes activities such as:

  • Meditation to increase awareness of anger triggers
  • Stretches, yoga, or other body movements to release stored tension
  • Developing non-judgmental acceptance of anger
  • Breathing exercises to help calm the body and mind
  • Observing and letting go of negative thoughts tied to anger

4. Group Therapy

In TLC Group Therapy, individuals facing similar anger-related challenges come together under the moderation of a trained mental health professional. This form of therapy can be valuable as members get the opportunity to learn from others’ experiences.

Benefits of group therapy for anger management at TLC include:

  • Gaining diverse perspectives on handling anger
  • Building accountability for managing anger
  • Learning practical skills and coping strategies from peers
  • Providing and receiving support in a safe, non-judgmental setting
  • Developing social skills and better interpersonal relationships

5. Family Therapy

TLC’s Family Therapy can be beneficial when anger issues impact family dynamics or are caused by family-related problems. Our therapy focuses on improving communication and resolving conflicts within the family so that you can live a peaceful life.

Key components of family therapy for anger management at TLC include:

  • Teaching all family members ways to manage anger
  • Promoting understanding and empathy among family members
  • Building a supportive and positive family environment
  • Recognizing and correcting patterns of family interaction that trigger anger
  • Equipping families with tools to resolve future disagreements constructively

6. Eight hours Anger Management Workshop

In addition to dedicated therapies, we also offer an Anger Management Workshop designed to help you understand and manage anger effectively. The workshop covers vital topics such as I-messages, the power of words, self-talk, conflict resolution, forgiveness, and identifying the emotions beneath anger.

Participants will also learn how to recognize physical cues, create a time-out plan, and handle different anger styles—passive, aggressive, passive-aggressive, and assertive.

Classes are held for 2 hours each week over three consecutive Fridays at our Metro West location from 6 pm to 8 pm. For more details on dates and pricing, please call us at 407-248-0030!

Steps to Take After Completing Anger Management Therapy

After completion of anger management therapy with TLC, it’s essential to continue practicing the skills learned during therapy in everyday life.

Life After Anger Management Therapy includes:

  • Practice Daily Skills: Apply the strategies learned in online therapy or offline therapy to real-life situations.
  • Recognize Triggers: Stay mindful of what provokes anger and use coping tools proactively.
  • Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: Regular exercise, good sleep, and a balanced diet help regulate emotions.
  • Embrace Setbacks: View setbacks as learning opportunities and focus on improving next time.

Anger Management Curriculum for Children and Teenagers

I remember when I was 21 years old and bought my first Mustang. It was a pretty two-door aquamarine car that could really go fast. Well, the day I drove it off the lot I remember noticing that the gas gauge was low. I ignored it. I had to show this beauty off to a bunch of my closest family and friends. I continued driving letting others dote on my car while I sat back with a ever so slight smirk on my face. To make a long story short I ended up stranded, walking to gas station. Why? Because I disregarded the gas light until it was too late.

Angry teenager forcefully pushes another teen against school locker

Children and adults often deal with anger in the same way, by ignoring the anger until it is too late. Then…watch out as there might be yelling, expletives, stomping, punching, banging or some may stuff it down inside. In either case, it is dealt with poorly and the results can be even more debilitating. In children, diagnoses such as Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Adjustment Disorder, and Depression often have anger as a symptom. While in adults, diagnoses such as Anti-Social Personality Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Adjustment Disorder, and Substance Abuse often display uncontrollable and inappropriate anger tendencies.

These emotions are much like my dummy light on the Mustang. When the light comes on we have the choice to deal with it or ignore it. Anger is not the problem. It is how we choose to deal with it. The anger management group offered at Total Life Counseling led by myself will approach anger from this vantage point, pointing out various methods by which we can identify our anger and handle it appropriately.
