Anger Management

Sometimes there’s nowhere for your anger to go but out. Out into the world through your words or your actions and into the lives of those you love.

You weren’t always an angry person. You were easy to approach, happy, and had great connections with those you were close to.

You weren’t always reactive. There was a period of time where you were able to manage your anger. Yet, somewhere along the way, all the little things started to nag at you. You saw how much of your life was beyond your control and when one thing after another went wrong, you couldn’t find a way to express yourself without being furious.

So today you find yourself always on edge, living life in agitation.

More often than not your day starts one way and ends in frustration. You’re annoyed with how little you understand where your anger comes from and the fact that your loved ones can’t seem to handle when you’re trying to vent. Your family and friends have learned to avoid you when they can sense you’re angry, and this is happening more often.

You’re not quite sure if your anger is something to get help for, but you know there’s something going on beneath the surface. You just don’t know exactly how to tell what that is. You know you don’t want your anger to drive away everyone you care about.

When You Come to Urban Wellness for Anger Management

Who Benefits Most from Anger Management

Anger Management is best for those who understand that their negative reactions to the events in their life are impacting their relationships. Anger Management helps you understand whatever is underneath your angry emotions and start healing the root cause.

There are certain situations where you might not be ready for Anger Management Counseling sessions with Urban Wellness. These situations include, but are not limited to:

If you are currently experiencing a severe mental illness, we recommend you seek outpatient services at a local program like Thresholds. If you are currently experiencing substance abuse or dependence, please see our other specialized service.

What The Anger Management Process Looks Like

Anger Management is intended to help you develop an anger plan, so you know how to cope and respond when you start to feel angry. Together, you and your therapist will strive to reduce your anger, frustration, and isolation and improve your ability to relate to others. You will discover ways to cope when you are feeling moved by strong emotions.

You and your therapist will meet together weekly for 55-minute sessions. Therapy is best done with at least an 8-week commitment. We find that clients who cannot commit to at least 8 weekly sessions and meet less than weekly tend to have more difficulty in establishing a relationship with their therapist and often spend their sessions recapping the previous weeks instead of focusing on forward movement. After 8 weekly sessions, you and your therapist can discuss the movement toward your treatment goals and whether reducing sessions to biweekly or terminating therapy is the next step.
