I have spent hundreds of hours working with clients who struggle with managing anger/rage. There are specific, step-by-step techniques that can be taught, that are very effective at helping people deal with this issue. Based on reports from clients I have worked with, I have found that if clients are committed to their process, most people make significant improvement within 6-12 sessions. Drawing from polyvagal theory, AEDP and mindfulness techniques, clients can learn healthy ways to manage and experience their anger.

I work to teach my clients to both understand the underlying components of anger, and to provide them with strageties to stop it at the very first sign. Understanding what causes the anger is a key component to stopping it. I also look into situational factors such as relationships or work environments that may be contributing to the problem. Spouses, partners, friends, or family members are welcome to join in the process where appropriate, and only if you choose to do so. You will feel more in control, calmer and healthier and happier as a result, and your relationships will improve as well.
