Do you lose your temper in an instant? Do you find it difficult to stay calm when people don't do what you want them to do? Is your
anger
putting your job or relationships at risk? Feelings of
anger
can play a positive role in our lives, letting us know when something is wrong. Unfortunately, without the right tools to express our emotions in healthy and appropriate ways,
anger
can be a destructive force. But you can learn how to stay in control of your behavior and communicate calmly.

Anger management
is not about removing one's
anger
;
anger management
is learning to recognize and control our responses to life's
anger
causing stressors. Without the proper help, this may be easier said than done. If your primary concern is the need to discover how to manage your
anger
, please recognize there is a vast difference between general training and advanced certification in my area of expertise. I am an organizational psychologist and I have been certified to work with adults and teens on their
anger management
issues. New

My focus is to help clients recognize and manage emotions, encourage ways to effectively express what they are feeling and introduce fun and effective coping strategies.

Anger Management Therapists
How long does therapy take for anger management?
Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.
How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?
Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.
Is there medication for anger management?
Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.
What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
