Signs of Anger Issues

The first step in addressing anger issues is often determining whether or not you need anger management therapy. Signs that you may have anger issues include:

• Feeling like your anger is out of control
• Feeling regretful after you’ve done something out of anger
• Feeling very frustrated and angry over small and petty things
• Causing harm to others physically or emotionally
• Causing damage to property when angry
• Being unable to let go of grudges
• Being guided by your anger in decision making

What Is Anger Management Therapy? 

Whether you have been told that you have anger issues, have any of the symptoms of anger issues above, or have been ordered by a court to participate in anger management treatment, therapy can be a great first step in taking control of your emotions. Anger management therapy might include a variety of treatment techniques, including:

• Relaxation—When a person feels anger, they may have an emotional response that is also very physical. Relaxation techniques, like deep breathing, can be used to calm the body.
• Cognitive therapy—This involves challenging the patient’s existing perceptions and thoughts to help them manage responses to situations that may be triggering.
• Skill development—Developing skills to respond to angering events appropriately is a key part of managing anger effectively and productively.

In some cases, anger issues may stem from events that happened in the past and may have led to existing trauma. A therapist can also help a person work through these past events and their current feelings and emotions surrounding them. A therapist can also help identify healthy and unhealthy behaviors, relationships, and lifestyle choices that may be interrupting efforts at effectively managing anger.
