The Best Therapy for Anger Management in Miami and Online

Anger isn’t an emotion that you need to be afraid of. It actually can teach us a lot about what is important, what upsets us, and what areas we may need to work on.

What Is Anger?

According to the APA Dictionary of Psychology, Anger is an emotion characterized by tension and hostility arising from frustration, real or imagined injury by another, or perceived injustice. It can manifest itself in behaviors designed to remove the object of the anger (e.g., determined action) or behaviors designed merely to express the emotion (e.g., swearing). Anger is distinct from, but a significant activator of, aggression, which is behavior intended to harm someone or something. Despite their mutually influential relationship, anger is neither necessary nor sufficient for aggression to occur.

The Best Tools For Anger Management

  • Identify your triggers. Do you notice the same life occurrences making your anger flare?

  • Ask what your anger is telling you. Anger is a natural emotion and often a window into a deeper wound, unmet need, or burnout signal.

  • Do something physical. Utilize a punching bag at the gym, go for a walk, and other types of cardio can help. Move your body!

  • Change up the channel. If something totally out of your control is flaring your anger- give it space but don't ruminate on it long enough to harm yourself or others.

  • Step away. If possible, step away from the situation if you feel your anger reaching a level of aggression.

  • Talk to a friend or therapist. Anger is an often misunderstood emotion with other underlining emotional factors. Anger may have been expressed to you in excess as a child. Outbursts may be the only way you believe you can get what you want or need.
