Anger Management and Counseling in Lawrence, KS.

Anger is an extremely important emotion. There's nothing wrong with feeling angry, it's what we do with our anger that gets us in trouble. If you are angry that is a sign of distress. You aren't angry without a reason. I would like to be able to help you understand those reasons and find a place for your anger. I will help you to gain insight into the reasons you are angry and find healthy ways in which to communicate and manage your anger so that it doesn't keep you from the relationships that you desire or interfere and disrupt your life.

Is your anger causing difficult consequences in your life? Many therapists can assist with its management, but I would like to also help with exploring the reason your anger gets bigger than others. Anger says "we are being violated", so what is this sense of violation. Does it spring from some situation from the past? Your anger is real, and makes sense in the context of your life experience. It is your "normal." Together we may be able to create a new normal. A personal message to men; you guys can do this too, and real strength comes from being able to accept help when we need it. Do this for yourself, do this for those you love, and never want to unintentionally hurt again.

At Trent Sullivan Counseling, we understand that managing anger goes beyond simply suppressing it – it's about understanding the root causes and developing healthy coping strategies. As a therapist specializing in supporting busy millennials and helping professionals, I recognize the impact that unchecked anger can have on both personal and professional relationships. In our therapy sessions, we work collaboratively to explore the underlying triggers and patterns of anger, equipping you with practical tools to express yourself assertively and manage your emotions effectively. Through our relational approach to therapy, we empower you to break free from destructive cycles of anger, fostering

For some people, anger is an emotion that is easier to express, compared to worry, fear, anxiety, sadness, depression, etc. However, lashing out verbally and/or physically, to others and/or property creates another layer of issues. This can result in problems with the law, failed marriages, lost jobs, etc. Recognizing the emotions underling the anger, and feeding into the anger, is an essential piece in mental health recovery. Individual therapy builds insight into our complex emotions, helps us cope with the sources and triggers of these emotions, and rebuilds from the consequences of our past choices.

All humans experience anger, the key is how we manage and reflect anger in ourselves and to others. I will help you evaluate the emotions that drive your anger and help you find skills to manage it. We will look at your perceived benefits and disadvantages, examine thoughts that drive your anger, find new ways and skills to deflect anger, and hopefully begin to diminish the intensity of your anger.
