"Anger. It's the theme
of the day. ... millions of people experience the painful effects of
anger, including cardiovascular disease, depression, obesity, low
self-esteem, migraine headaches, ulcers, poor interpersonal relationships,
spouse abuse, child abuse, divorce, alcoholism, drug addiction, lowered
job productivity, chronic distress, and broken hearts, to name just a few."
from Dr. Weisinger's Anger Work-out Book
Strengthening your
relationship means making changes with how you listen, respond, and
interact. It means becoming more comfortable with a whole range of
emotions that don't have to be expressed as anger.
During individual or couple therapy
sessions, we will address these issues:
- Keeping track of when you get
angry and why
- Learning strategies for
controlling and redirecting your anger
- Identifying how anger affects
you and your partner
- Making choices in your emotional
responses
- Changing your communication
patterns
|
Throughout the therapy
process, we will also
work on changing the experience and occurrence of anger, using several
strategies:
- Anger monitoring
- Insight and problem-solving exercises
- Behavioral self-assessments
|
Sometimes feelings get hurt,
and frustration is a natural emotional response--but anger is a choice you
can learn not to make.
