Anger Management
RED MIST / RAGE < ANGER > ANNOYANCE
Anger is one of the most powerful, yet perhaps most repressed emotions or misunderstood emotions that we experience. In western society anger is often considered to be a taboo, especially for women. However for men it can be acceptable to express anger, and often seen as being "high spirited" or "one of the lads".
Irrationality, loss of control, illness and violence are just a few consequences of unmanaged anger. Yet it can be a positive emotion, if channelled correctly.
Anger is part of us, in the same way that it is part of every creature on the planet. We all have anger within us; animals use it to protect, hunt, defend territory or mate.
However, we as Human Beings seemed to have got it mixed up, and often use anger in an inappropriate way, but it is still an important part of our natural make-up.
Clinical Hypnotherapy, Counselling & Psychotherapy can be used when anger is used in a negative form. However, many people come to therapy for anger management without being coerced, and in these cases, a great deal of help is possible.
We cannot cure anger as it is an inherent emotion, but we can create a coping strategy to allow the angry to live as normal life as possible. Some anger habits are learnt from parents or peers, and can be unlearnt through therapy. In other cases, strategies to be aware of anger, to understand what triggers anger, how to control the physical reactions and learn social and coping skills.
So, it is impossible to cure something that is in an integral part of us, but we can help you learn to cope by learning to use anger productively, to bring change rather than allowing it to consume and envelop us in a blind rage.
