Anger is multifaceted and, if properly explored with a certified Restoring-Self-Cohesion therapist, you can gain insight into the unconscious dynamics producing the anger issues. It is imperative to move beyond, just trying to whack-a-mole the symptoms with willpower alone. We can control our anger for so long, but if the root issues are not addressed, you'll end up exploding eventually - which will undermine the progress you've been making to restore trust in your relationships. A restoring-self-cohesion therapist will help you learn how to work WITH your soul to resolve latent grief, shame, feelings of being out of control, etc. By addressing and resolving the root issues, you will experience greater peace because the anger has been resolved. Your life and relationships will be upgraded through the RSC work! Our amazing certified Restoring-Self-Cohesion therapists at CrawfordClinics.com are here to help you resolve your anger issues once and for all!
I am proud of you for acknowledging that you have anger issues that you want to work on. You want to find a psychologist who specializes in anger management and trauma as typically anger could be a result of unresolved trauma. Best of luck to you!
Any therapist who provides help for anger management.
Seeing a mental health worker might be helpful, a clinical psychologist or marriage and family therapist may be helpful for you to get the guidance to develop the capacity to tolerate difficult emotions and also give you tools help you learn to "respond" rather than "react". Plus more, often times, we learn to be defensive because there is an underlying hurt that was want to protect. But only when you are open to talking about them, can give process them. This is done in a compassionate and caring way. I hope you find the courage and connect with a trained mental health worker.
Most often, you would see a psychologist or other type of counselor for cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). That is a specific type of therapy to help people learn to understand the cause of their emotions and improve ways of managing or reducing the intensity of negative feelings such as anger. CBT focuses on the interrelationships between events, thoughts, feelings, and behavior to identify the source of problems and make changes to improve outcomes and quality of life.
