People that have a hard time controlling their anger have difficulty dealing with pressures from other people, the outside world, other people and the way stressors impact on them. Day to day problems, negative thoughts and beliefs, loss of control, mistrust, and interpersonal relationship problems are common issues experienced by people who have difficulties managing anger. Therapy can help you explore the issues behind your anger while learning strategies to control your anger and communicate your needs. Negative thoughts and beliefs will be challenged while exploring and enhancing your personal relationships.

Anger management problems emerge from a social system where both genders are taught that expression of anger is inappropriate. Anger is one of seven basic human emotions and is in no way dangerous, unfeminine, or taboo. Explosive anger typically emerges when people attempt to keep their anger from others, holding it inside until they can no longer contain it. My approach is to model and practice graded expression of anger, and to help people modify the point(s) of view from which anger is seen to emerge.

I believe anger comes from two places: hurt and fear. We will work together to determine the root of your anger, and we will spend time exploring how it developed into what it has become today. Through this process, a client may experience the ability to anticipate angry reactions and find ways to circumvent and deal appropriately with an emotion that is completely natural, but potentially dangerous if left unchecked.

Todays society creates pressures that at times are insurmountable. Anger is a natural consequence of being overwhelmed and feeling inadequate. At SunRise we would like to assist you in exerting control over your actions by 1) creating a delay between a trigger and your anger response 2) by developing better problem solving strategies 3) by getting to the bottom of your anger. When anger is your first response to the world ~ your need to do some serious soul searching. However you arrived at this, your choice is to find peace or forever be tormented. Anger is a raw, agonizing state that needs to be replaced by calm goal directed actions. We can help you get there!

Anger is taboo. So when we get angry there are very few templates available to teach us how to manage it. It can have unimaginable force and scare us. What might it be capable of? The goal is to create safe conditions to explore it and find out what it is telling us. Then we can learn to express it and create conditions where we have ownership.
