At New Roots Therapy, we understand anger as part of an overall context. For example, we look to understand what anger is related to, as well as someone's "good reasons" for experiencing anger. Our hope is to take a non-judgmental stance, while also encouraging people to take responsibility for the expression of anger. People are not their emotions; therefore, feeling angry does not necessarily make someone an angry person. We hope to offer people a way of understanding their anger as separate from their identity, in the sense that anger does not define them. As such, people can be active agents, rather than passive recipients, in their experience and expression of anger.

It can be difficult to control our emotions, especially in these challenging times. Anger can also be an expression of other emotions that are lying beneath the surface. Psychotherapy can help identify tools that work for you in learning to regulate your emotions, as well as approaching your anger with preventative strategies such as learning to recognize when you begin to feel angry, and regular activities that can help alleviate stress and build up your stress tolerance. You are not defined by your anger, and your anger doesn't control you. By learning to identify your triggers and the purpose your anger serves for you, therapy can help you make a shift bring more peace into your life.
