Anger Management

If you feel that your anger is really out of control, and is affecting your life in a negative way, counselling can help you develop a range of techniques, for changing your thinking and behaviour.

Anger Management Counselling

Like most emotions, anger is accompanied by psychological and biological changes for example; the person’s heart rate and blood pressure will typically increase, as will the level of adrenaline. 

Anger is possibly the most poorly handled emotion in our society; the goal of anger management therefore is to reduce both the emotional feelings and physiological arousal that anger creates. Knowing how to see, recognise, and express anger in the correct way can help individuals reach their goals, solve problems and handle emergencies.

Everyone knows what anger is, and most people have felt it at some point in their life. It is a completely normal, often healthy, human emotion. However if anger becomes, or gets, out of control it may lead to many problems, at work, in personal relationships and in the overall quality of life. 

Anger is nature’s way of empowering individuals to protect against a perceived attack or threat; it is only the mismanagement of anger that causes problems. Anger can often be an unpredictable and powerful emotion. Without help, anger can lead to a variety of personal difficulties.

Controlling your Anger

Mismanaged anger can lead to many negative outcomes; domestic abuse, workplace violence, road rage, addiction and divorce are only a few examples. Anger is often triggered or set off by perceived threats and is a very common reaction when someone has been insulted, hurt or unfairly treated. However when anger is controlled and managed appropriately, it may have a positive influence, helping individuals stand up for themselves and fight against injustice.

If your anger is having a negative impact on your life it is possible to help yourself, learn techniques to manage your anger and how to express your anger in a healthy way.  

C.B.T. (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) will give you contentment and happiness. It teaches methods whereby those who experience negative thoughts can change the anger to positive thoughts, feelings and behaviours with a new way of thinking.

Make an appointment with Cork Counselling Centre to help you get the contentment and happiness you deserve. All locations are in private discrete premises, and you will be given full directions when you make an appointment.
