Is it normal to get angry, and when is it a problem?

Feeling angry is a completely normal human emotion, as common as feeling joy or sadness. It's your body's way of telling you that something isn't right, like a "check engine" light. The problem isn't the feeling itself, but what you do with it. Anger becomes an issue when it’s so intense or frequent that it feels like it's driving the car for you, leading to outbursts or hurting those you care about. We understand this struggle, and we can help you regain control of the steering wheel.

Why do I get so angry over small things?

Have you ever felt your anger go from zero to a hundred over something as simple as a misplaced item? It’s a frustrating feeling, like your brain is overreacting to minor inconveniences. Often, that intense reaction is a symptom of a deeper issue, like a leaky faucet that's been dripping for a long time. It could be masking feelings of anxiety, hurt, or stress. We can work together to uncover what’s really behind your anger, so you can address the root cause, not just the frustrating outbursts.

What happens to my body when I'm angry?

When you feel anger brewing, your body prepares for battle—your heart races, your muscles tense, and your breathing gets faster. It’s a natural, built-in reaction. But if you’re constantly revving that engine, it can wear you out and impact your physical health over time. Counseling teaches you how to recognize these physical cues, so you can press the brakes and use healthy coping strategies before you reach a boiling point. You are not a helpless passenger; you can learn to be in the driver's seat.

What's the most effective way to deal with my anger?

There's no single magic bullet for anger management; it's more like a personalized toolkit. The most effective approach is to find the right combination of tools that work for you. This might include learning relaxation techniques, identifying your triggers, and practicing new ways to communicate without yelling or shutting down. We’ll help you build a comprehensive strategy so you can face frustrating situations with a sense of calm and a feeling of empowerment, rather than being overwhelmed by rage.
