Emotional Regulation

Anger Management Therapy

Anger is a natural and necessary emotion. It often signals that a boundary has been crossed or a need has gone unmet. But when anger becomes frequent, intense, or explosive, it can shift from a protective signal to a disruptive force—affecting careers, relationships, and self-respect.

Our work looks beyond the outburst to understand what drives it. Therapy offers a structured, confidential space to slow reactions, recognize triggers, and transform anger from something reactive into something thoughtful and directed.

Understanding the Emotion Beneath the Anger

Clinically, anger is often a "secondary emotion"—a protective response that covers more vulnerable feelings such as hurt, shame, disappointment, or fear. Chronic irritability can also stem from long-standing stress, attachment patterns, or pressure-filled professional environments.

"Growth occurs in the space between the stimulus and the response."

Using a blend of psychodynamic insight and cognitive-behavioral tools, we identify the thoughts, feelings, and body cues that precede anger. When these patterns become clearer, the intensity and frequency of reactions often decrease, creating more choice in how you respond.

Building Relational Agency

Healthy regulation is not about suppressing anger—it is about using it effectively. A central focus is assertive communication: expressing needs and limits clearly, without aggression or withdrawal.

As self-awareness grows, the ability to self-regulate strengthens. Situations that once escalated quickly can instead become opportunities for clarity, repair, and constructive change.
