Counselling, CBT and EMDR for Anger Management in Fareham

What is anger?

Anger is a natural, healthy emotion that everyone experiences. Feeling angry isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, it can become problematic if it turns into a default response or, conversely, if it’s entirely suppressed.

When anger takes over, it can cloud judgement, drive impulsive actions, and sometimes lead to aggression or violence. It can also cause people to withdraw, damaging personal, family, and professional relationships. Unmanaged anger can deeply impact overall well-being and the quality of relationships in every area of life.

Counselling, CBT and EMDR for Anger Management

When does anger become a problem?

Unchecked anger can quickly become a problem, potentially affecting behaviour and risking harm to yourself or others. Without healthy ways to express anger, relationships may become turbulent or strained, and anger may often mask other emotions, such as sadness or guilt.

 For some people, difficulties with expressing anger can impact both mental and physical well-being. When anger is internalised, it can lead to high levels of stress which affect both the mind and body. Suppressing anger can contribute to physical health problems and, in some cases, lead to self-destructive behaviours such as substance misuse or risky decisions. Therapy can offer a safe space to explore and manage anger constructively, reducing its impact on your life and relationships.

How counselling can help with Anger Management

A therapist will listen to your unique experiences and together you will work to understand the roots of your anger. It is common to feel shame or guilt around your anger, but there’s no judgement in therapy - it’s a normal, human emotion. Therapy can guide you towards healthier ways to express it.

Many people seek therapy for anger management, but often discover that other underlying issues also need to be explored. As these are addressed, individuals often find that their anger lessens naturally. Through therapy, people learn to explore the role anger has taken in their lives, both past and present, and find practical strategies to express, redirect, or manage it.

Therapy offers a constructive way to address anger. In a non-judgemental space, individuals can express and explore their feelings openly. Therapy helps people understand the root causes of their anger, gain insight into their triggers, and develop healthier responses. Through therapeutic support, clients can learn effective ways to manage anger, improve self-control, and rebuild relationships, creating a path to emotional balance and improved mental health.

Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to process these feelings. Options include one-to-one or group counselling with a professional, or dedicated anger management group sessions led by a trained therapist. Therapy can offer a compassionate path to better understanding and managing anger, helping individuals to regain control, rebuild relationships, and enhance their well-being.

Often, unmanaged anger can interfere with relationships, sleep, work, school, and daily routines, impacting both personal and professional life. Anger is a common issue that leads people to seek therapy, particularly talking therapies like Counselling and Psychotherapy. Effective therapy can help individuals understand the root causes of their anger, providing them with tools to manage their emotions and respond more constructively in challenging situations. In a relatively short time, therapy can significantly reduce or even eliminate the intensity of anger, helping individuals regain control and return to their regular activities with a renewed sense of calm. Although people may not always pinpoint the exact source of their anger during therapy, many individuals find that after attending a few counselling sessions at the Fareham Counselling Centre, they acquire a set of practical skills that allow them to manage and reduce anger effectively, leading to healthier relationships and greater emotional well-being.
