Anger Management and Counseling in Brentwood, TN.

Anger is a secondary emotion. You don't go from feeling okay to angry. You feel okay, then feel something that bothers you, and then you express it in anger. Some people show their anger with their words, often saying things that are hurtful and hard to apologize for. Others may manifest their anger physically, taking it out on themselves, inanimate objects, or other living things. My job is to help you understand where your anger is coming from and how to express it in a healthy way. It can absolutely be done, it just takes work and the desire to change.

You don't know where your anger comes from. It seems to just bubble up and peak out of nowhere. You don't understand yourself and you are scaring yourself and others. Together, we will look behind the anger (strong, protective feeling), and see what lies behind it (softer, more vulnerable feelings). Once you can point to the other, underlying feelings, it is easier to begin the journey to become more vulnerable, release guilt, and find peace.

Anger management counseling can help to identify stressors and learn the steps to stay calm in the face of anger. The goal is to handle tense situations in more constructive and positive ways by reducing the emotional and physical arousal that anger can cause. It will provide the tools to take back your life and resolve the triggers that result in unplanned anger reactions.
