Anger is a normal emotion, but it becomes dangerous if it’s not managed effectively. When anger isn’t dealt with in a healthy way, it can cause you significant problems at home, work and in your relationships. There are several anger management problems you may be facing, such as:
- Difficulty controlling anger. A lack of control can result in outbursts or violence, which is extremely scary for both you and your loved ones.
- Suppressing anger. Rage turned inwards can lead to feelings of resentment, frustration, depression, and anxiety.
- Acting out anger in destructive ways. You may turn to alcohol or drug use to try and control your anger, but in time substances will only make things worse.
If you’re facing problematic anger, you’re not on your own. Anger is as common as anxiety and depression, affecting around 7.8% of the population.*
However, unlike anxiety and depression, anger has been poorly addressed by traditional diagnostic measures, such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and the International Classification of Diseases. That’s why many people struggle to find treatment or get help with their anger.
Luckily, there is an effective therapy available with a strong evidence base for treating anger. Strategic psychotherapy and clinical hypnotherapy are a unique combination of techniques that work to keep you calm and in control. Treatment aims to find and address the root cause of your anger and bring about long-lasting positive change.
During treatment, you’ll discover tools to keep your anger under control, so you can stop it from spilling over and affecting your life. Over time, you’ll feel noticeably calmer on a daily basis and experience less anger than you do now. On the rare occasions when old feelings do arise, you’ll have powerful tools to stay in control, rather than letting your anger control you.
