Online Anger Management Counseling

Online Anger Management Therapy in California | Online Anger Management Treatment in California

Is anger wrecking your life and what you love?

Feeling angry is entirely natural.

Perhaps you had an argument with your boss that left you fuming. You may lose patience with your partner and lash out at them. Or maybe you made a mistake and are simply mad at yourself.

Reacting with anger to hurtful or stressful scenarios is human. But when such rage is too persistent, intense, and out of control, it can have harmful consequences on your health. It may affect your relationship with yourself and others, the harmony at home, work, or school, as well as your safety and well-being.

Unveil and manage the storm underneath.

Anger doesn’t have to take a toll on your life and those you love.

What is anger?

Anger is a secondary emotion that arises to protect you from pain, loss, or danger. It can range from mild irritation or annoyance to severe outrage, triggering a fight-or-flight response.

Although it might appear to be your primary reaction on the surface, it’s most likely masking a deeper issue.

What is online anger management counseling?

Online anger management therapy provides you with a safe atmosphere and a qualified therapist to recognize the root, signs, triggers, and responses to your anger.

We will meet in a secure, accessible, and convenient telehealth platform to discuss how this fiery emotion impacts your life and teach you evidence-based techniques to regulate it.

Do you need anger management counseling?

Anger is problematic when it becomes uncontrollable, impairs your function, or leads to damaging behaviors toward yourself and others.

Common emotional and mental signs of anger issues:

Aggression
Anxiety and stress
Dangerous or violent actions (e.g., breaking things, yelling, vandalizing property)
Frequent outbursts, tantrums, or conflict
Irritability
Isolation
Negative self-talk
Self-harm
Vengeful thoughts

Common physical signs of anger issues:

Accelerated heart rate
Clenching your jaw
Headaches
Muscle tension
Shaking
Sweating

Anger is also associated with high blood pressure, heart disease, digestive problems, and other physical ailments.

If these red flags remind you of yourself or someone you know, don’t wait. Therapy can help you manage your anger before things get worse.

How can online anger management counseling help you?

Unmasking what’s hiding behind your anger

You may have already realized you are dealing with anger issues—whether you have noticed the red flags or how they are hurting yourself and others. But you may not know where or how to start healing.

Therapy opens up a nonjudgmental environment to embrace curiosity and self-compassion and delve into what’s underneath your rage. When does it flare up? What sets it off? What thoughts, sensations, feelings, or actions come along with it? How do you express it? Does it typically help or harm you and those around you?

Becoming aware of the warning signs

Once you discover where your anger might be coming from, you can begin to observe and be on the lookout for your particular warning signs. For example, you might note that your heart races, your muscles get tense, and you “see red” when experiencing anger.

The goal is to be aware of what’s happening in your mind and body when you are getting angry and why so you can respond more mindfully—instead of succumbing to aggression, dwelling on stressors, or bottling up your fury.

Attaining and practicing strategies

Anger management is not about suppressing, avoiding, or changing your feelings but helping you control your reactions and reduce your emotional distress.

This doesn’t mean you won’t ever feel angry anymore. But we’ll focus on unlearning damaging habits and learning more constructive ones to express your anger and alleviate your nervous system response.

You will get insights and practice techniques to keep anger in check, including strategies to manage impulses, challenge irrational beliefs, reframe negative thought patterns, self-soothe, and communicate more efficiently.
