Anger Management

You can feel the build-up coming, heart racing…

Sometimes it starts with arguments over the finances… again.

The bills just keep piling up. You find out your husband just spent your family savings on a new car! He did not even check with you to find out if the purchase of the car was a good idea.

Your heartbeat begins to beat faster… it’s 5:00 pm. She’s going to come from work soon. You’re wondering what type of mood she’ll have.

“Anything I do around the house is never good enough. I’m just so tired of her constant complaints and criticism.”

Maybe you finally got that promotion at work but lost it because you ‘lost it’ and got angry at the employees you are supposed to be managing.

Anger can ruin so many relationships and opportunities in your life. You become disconnected from the ones who love you – they don’t want to be around you for fear that a comment, mistake, or situation could cause you to lash out.

You want to get your anger under control, but you’re dealing with so much stress, fatigue, or an environment or situation that seems impossible to help you manage it.

But don’t be discouraged… we can help you.

Anger needs to be expressed outwardly in a constructive way, or else it becomes self-destructive.

At Encouraged Counseling Services, you will learn to express your anger in a positive outlet. You will acknowledge how you feel in a way that honors others as fellow human beings with feelings of their own. You will be taught not to hold your anger, stop thinking about it, and redirect your focus toward something else.

Healthy coping skills and strategies will be introduced and practiced that will help you release tension and calm your nerves. For example, progressive muscle relaxation is where you tense up and slowly relax your body part.

Listening to music is a great way to soothe your mind and your emotions by playing your favorite playlist and allowing yourself to unwind.

Will you ever be able to tame this anger monster?

The answer to this question is “YES.” However, the strategies and techniques you’ll learn during your sessions are only effective when you are willing to learn and change.

Your decision to overcome anger issues and develop healthier emotional strategies is to be applauded. We’ll help ensure that these changes are long-term and effective.
