Anger is often a misunderstood emotion and often looked at as more negative than positive. In applying cognitive behavioral approaches to developing a healthy use and control of anger, therapy will support you in not suppressing anger but recognizing the difference between healthy and unhealthy anger and regaining your mastery over this complex emotion. Often this leads to overall better self understanding and increased confidence as well as improved personal and professional relationships.

We must gain insight into the sources of the anger issues and attempt to process and heal these. Also I collaborate with my clients on effective strategies to contain the anger and refrain from acting on it. Approaches to calm the body and mind are also important. A common strategy is to help the client to recognize the minute the anger starts and finding customized ways to quickly veer away so as not to allow the feeling to go into action.
