Feelings of anger can emerge from various situations, dealing with daily hassles, annoyances, being criticized, or even when dealing with unaware motorists. Anger can present itself as a range of emotions, from mild irritation to full-blown rage. When we use our feelings of anger to assert ourselves and our needs, it can be helpful and constructive to us living a happy and healthy life. Contrasingly, when anger is felt too intensely for too long, it can sometimes result in us lashing out at loved ones. Sometimes, after we react based on feelings of anger, it can lead to feelings of shame or guilt.
Treatment for intense feelings of anger can involve recognizing triggers for feelings of anger, developing appropriate coping mechanisms, such as engaging in deep breathing or muscle relaxation to alleviate tension, and challenging distorted thoughts that lead to feelings of anger. CBT has been shown to be an effective tool for reducing feelings of anger, and our therapists are well-trained in utilizing CBT for the purpose of anger management.
