Dan Quinn, Psy.D.
A lot of people "bottle and blow," not saying what they want to say a bunch of times and then blowing up. So a big part of managing anger has to do with finding better ways to get what you want. There are also helpful strategies for containing your impulse to blow up, so it doesn't get away from you and make things worse. Lots of people think that it's good to "blow off steam," but in fact we have clear data that "venting" anger actually makes you more angry!

Benefits from anger management therapy include: being freed from working up irritation, frustration and getting irate; finding, addressing and resolving the roots of the anger so that a ground of relaxed calm is present again; and developing equanimity--keep your feeling balance, with minimal if any reactivity. Feeling powerless, incompetent, helpless and having no control are usually at the heart of anger issues, no matter how they are being acted out. The aim is to stop the destructive acting out, then identify triggers, deconstruct the key beliefs / "hot thoughts" that perpetrate anger, and resolve traumas. Seeing and letting go the mind's past conditioning allows sustained true healing.
Larry Lease, JD, MA, LMFT
Expression of anger is often the gateway to reaching underlying feelings of pain, such as fear, hurt, humiliation and sadness. In therapy with both individuals and couples I help angry persons stay connected to their upset feelings and express them in a constructive way that strengthens relationships. When we have the courage to share the painful feelings with persons we trust, we experience increased self esteem and self confidence and deeper intimacy.
If you have repetitive explosive anger, which is emotionally harmful or physically dangerous, I urge you to find an anger management group, where participants work together to gain control over these behaviors, before seeking therapy.

Anger is best managed in an appropriate context of group therapy. Those who can express their anger in the presence of others, without frightening and alienating others, can benefit from this therapeutic approach. To sit with families or individuals in intense conflict within themselves or with others requires years of practice and patience. I have spent those years of study and practice.

Are you angry all the time, suffering with constant dissatisfaction and irritability?
For some people, everything seems fine and under control until a wire gets tripped causing you to explode or fall apart. Maybe this looks like a shout, a push, or a punch, a rant or escalating up to tornado-like destruction.
Or perhaps your anger goes inward: a clenched jaw, stomach-aches, depression, or high blood pressure.
Often these feelings and incidents are accompanied by feelings of shame and low self-esteem.
Anger is a normal and even necessary response to threats to our emotional and physical well-being. Were it not for this emotion, our species would be extinct, so my job is not to eliminat....
Mey Saephan, MS
Anger in itself is not a bad thing. It is a feeling and feelings are there for a reason. You can manage your frustrations without losing control of yourself. In my work with you, you will learn your personal signs and symptoms of anger and catch yourself before you reach that point of no return. "My anger outbursts and destructive behavior seem to come from nowhere!" This is not true. You can learn the root cause, slow it down and have control over your life again. You will learn how to be assertive instead of being aggressive.

Clients often identify "anger" as a primary concern on counseling intake forms. So many of us struggle with anger because it occurs in response to so many life experiences and we are rarely taught how to appropriately communicate about it. Anger, and the way we express it, often leaves us with negative consequences that impact our lives at home and at work. The reality about anger is that it is often a secondary emotion...a reaction to hurt and pain. Cognitive therapy can help identify what thoughts and events trigger our anger. Once we can identify the triggers we can learn to be more conscious and active in choosing how we will respond to them.
Neal Winblad, MFT
Angry outbursts usually reflect an autonomic nervous system that is dysregulated from unresolved trauma and accumulated stress response. Not only do I work with you to give you new tools and ways to put a stop sign between the stimulus and your anger reponse, but using the tools of Somatic Experiencing we can actually discharge that fight or flight energy that is backed up behind the dam waiting to explode. This will leave you feeling calm and well regulated in the face of daily stresses and encounters.
Cliff Crain, MFT
Anger is a normal human emotion. We all experience times of intense anger. If you were one of the rare individuals who had loving parents and caretakers during childhood, then you may have naturally learned ways to appropriately deal with ANGER-PRODUCING SITUATIONS. Most of us were not so lucky, and we must have the courage and will power to learn anger-management techniques as adults.
You deserve to to find inner-peace during chaotic and difficult times. I hope you call me (at 925-855-1745) so we can explore alternatives. You can also take an ANGER-INVENTORY at www.4creativeliving.com

Anger can eat you up and poison your life in terms of relationships and how it affects how you feel about yourself and your life. It can be all consuming. It might even be difficult to know what you are angry about. You know that something has to change to redirect your anger energy to make better life choices. Feeling angry, frustrated, or overwhelmed limits finding solutions to make the changes that will help you find a way out.
Together, we will help you understand your anger, its past and its present and how it affects your life today. We’ll look at your patterns of behavior with anger, the internal and external cues that trigger it, and the emotions that accompany and underlie the a....
Dino Di Donato, MFT, MS, M.Ed Counseling
We utilize a Mindfulness approach to anger management. We start by accepting that anger is simply a human emotion, albeit, a negative emotion that impacts the inidividual experiencing it along with those who are the recipients or targets. We acknowledge the general health and psychological as well as cultural consequences of anger over a prolonged period of time. We must also assess its link to depression in men to understand it fully. Mindfulness allows us to identify anger as it emerges in us and learn to build a "buffr zone" to allow us to assess what is actually happneing and eventually manage the energy in an effective manner.

Do you lose your cool, blow up at your partner, boss, family when you really didn't intend to? Does your anger take over and you find yourself regretting how you handled a situation? Anger is a challenging emotion to deal with, but it is possible to express your anger in an effective, clear way; a way that communicates what is important without damaging the relationship. People who struggle with anger often don't feel heard or understood, so they get louder. This backfires. Don't let anger control you, but let it signal a strong protest. I help you get crystal clear on how to communicate your needs, priorities, and limits strongly, without anger taking over.
Lawrence Tunis, Ed.D, LMFT
i have extensive experience in this area, having worked with Severely Disturbed Children for five years in a special school setting, and then moving over to work with an adult population who have committed crimes and have been incarcerated in the County Jail. I know the techniques needed to facilitate a person to deal more effectively with angry feelings so that his or her relationships can be repaired and blossom and they can enjoy life to the fullest.

Robert Hardman, MA, MDIV
Managing anger is difficult for many reasons. I help clients look at those reasons and face the cost of being angry, the lies we believe about anger, its many faces, and the painful truths about what creates "our" anger. I believe that managing your anger requires a change in your thinking about what causes you to become anger. It is your automatic thinking that produce your anger. Through practice you can replace the old ways with new ways of thinking that do not produce anger. I help clients build a psychological toolbox for managing potential stressors and rebuilding damaged relationships.

Other people can be really thoughtless, rude, & annoying. Sometimes it feels like they deserve our anger. Yet anger comes with a price. We run the risk of losing our relationships with our family & coworkers. We feel embarrassed & ashamed. We wished we could do better, & are angry with ourselves. I use a therapeutic technique that has been shown in research to be the most effective in the treatment of anger problems, cognitive behavioral therapy. I combine this powerful technique with EMDR, Somatic Experiencing to get at the root of your anger problem and help you making meaningful and lasting change. You can feel better. You just need to call. Call 415-820-1487 for a free phone consult.
Harry Lieberman, MFT
Our goal is to assist individuals and couples communicate everything they need to say without aggression, intimidation or defensiveness. This goal often involves a fundamental change in attitude toward ourselves and others. Together we can we change and move from anger to empathy and healthy expression. Arguing and fighting are defensive behaviors intended to protect ourselves from harm.Unfortunately, arguing and fighting turn out to be neithe r effective solutions to relationship problems or conflicts..
Gene Grossman, Ph.D, CA MFT 6276
Anger is a symptom not the cause of our unhappiness. We feel hurt, rejected, misunderstood but are unable to communicate our distress without lashing out or losing our tempers. When our needs are not met or we suffer disappointment we resort to threats or intimidation. We lose control of ourselves when we feel frustrated or inadequate in our relationships. My job is to help my clients transform their anger into assertiveness. My goal is always to help my clients say everything they need to say without anger, reproach or recrimination. Most people are unaware of how angry they are until they become explosive. I help you get in touch with "early warning signs" that prevent rash behavior.
Mark Hirschfield
I have a great deal of experience and success working with anger management. I empathize and aid the client in understanding the process of anger. Effective tools are developed to deal with the problematical behaviors. When that has been achieved I help the client understand and deal with the underlying issues. Under the anger is usually hurt and sadness. We feel much more powerful and have no need to be defensive when we can be at peace with our vulnerable feelings
