What is
Anger?
Anger can be a symptom of different mental health issues which can impact individuals in different ways. Understanding and addressing it through therapy can lead to improved well-being and quality of life.
What Is It?
Anger is a complex mental health challenge and a symptom of many different issues. It may affect emotions, thoughts, behaviours, and physical well-being, and often requires personalised understanding and support.
Common Experiences
People experiencing anger might struggle to concentrate, feel physically unwell, or withdraw from social situations. The specific experiences can vary from person to person, but they often disrupt overall wellbeing. People with anger issues often feel like their emotions explode quickly, even over small things. They might snap, yell, or break things, and later feel guilty or confused about why it happened. It can be draining, and relationships may suffer because others feel hurt or scared.
How It Can Affect You
Anger can interfere with relationships, work, and overall well-being. It may make it harder to enjoy daily life or manage stress effectively. Deep down, people don't usually want to hurt anyone — they just struggle to manage all the pressure or frustration building up.
Ways Therapy Can Help
Providing coping strategies for managing anger
Creating a safe space to explore thoughts and emotions
