With Careful Treatment For Your Anger Problems, I Will Help You To Recognise What Triggers Your Anger And Help You To Learn To Manage It
What is Anger?
Everyone has likely experienced anger at some time throughout their life. Some people become angry more often than others, and have regular, intense outbursts. Others tend to bottle their feelings, and then explode or erupt without warning - like a volcano. Anger is a basic human emotion and a natural reaction to situations beyond our control. There are a number of things that can trigger or contribute to anger such as the actions of another person (treating an animal unfairly), an event (favorite football team is beaten), stress (losing the new account at work), expectations not being met, feelings of hurt, disrespect, humiliation, embarrassment, jealousy and sadness.
Anger is healthy and depending on how it is managed and expressed, anger can be positive or negative. Anger has positive consequences when angry feelings help you address a problem or issue with yourself or another person and rectify the situation. Dealing with anger positively enables you to put negative emotions into perspective. When you want to let off steam, feel frustrated or upset, there are constructive ways to channel your anger like listening to music, running or going to gym. These are often used in treating anger disorders.
Expressing anger in a negative way leads to various unhealthy behaviors such as violence and aggression. You may become out of control and threatening to others. When anger interferes with your ability to think or act clearly, this can cause you to invite unnecessary trouble to yourself. If anger hampers your personal relationships with friends and family, leads to violence, creates trouble in your professional life and people fear your temper, you may be suffering from anger disorders and treating anger becomes essential.
Fortunately, with effective help at the wellbeing clinic, you can be helped to reduce your feelings of anger and frustration, and take back control of your life. This page will help you to understand anger better. Further down you will find the information how you can be helped and at the bottom of the page you will find details on how to contact the clinic and to discuss the free initial consultation which we offer so I can get a full understanding how anger and frustration affects you and to be able to explain in detail how the treatments offered at the wellbeing clinic can help you.
What Causes Anger?
Anger disorders are many times a consequence of anger that is suppressed or bottled deep within. If the individual never admits or exposes anger, and puts up a good front and therefore hides their true feelings, anger disorders can occur. Individuals who have being hurt badly or experienced some form of abuse and trauma have difficult expressing emotions, and tend to internalize their anger.
This emotion is often transferred to other more harmful behaviors such as drug and alcohol addiction, eating disorders or self harm. Negative consequences of suppressed anger can also result in tension, depression, and a breakdown in relationships.
Certain bodily reactions take place when a person experiences the emotion of anger. Heart rate and blood pressure increase and breathing becomes shorter and faster. An individual may also become flushed, hot and sweaty, start to shake and clench his or her jaw.
As much as the signs of anger may differ from person to person, people express their anger differently. Some may begin to yell, be abusive and insulting, break down doors or resort to fist fights, throw things, storm out, while others may become quiet, depressed and introverted.
Help for your drinking problems at the wellbeing clinic
Anger management treatment at the wellbeing clinic doesn't just reduce emotional and mental tension, anger management treatment has been proven to help reduce stress, heart disease and immune deficiencies. Anger management treatment can help reduce irrational ideas and paranoid thinking that the world is out to get you and that everyone has hostile intentions towards you. Learning how to cope with anger rather than swallowing or exploding with anger is the goal of anger management treatment.
Many people with anger problems have a hard time seeing that it is their ideas and beliefs that are causing their anger. There are always going to be people and situations that do not hold up to your expectations and values. Learning to resolve such conflicts without hating or hurting or humiliating others can be found in anger management treatment. Therapeutic treatment at the wellbeing clinic is a very effective way to examine emotional reactions and interpreting situations in a less hostile way. Controlling immediate impulses and considering the consequences of actions is another effective method.
The specific treatment approach depends on how anger affects your daily life and its severity. But in general, most anger problems at the wellbeing clinic are treated with cognitive behavioural therapy, hypnotherapy and sometimes with counselling. These treatments can be used individually or combined. Every client is unique on how anger affects them and so is the treatment provided. You may already have your own preffered choice of treatment and this can be discussed in detail at the free initial consultation.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive behavioural therapy is generally viewed as the most effective form of treatment for anger management and is reccomended by the NHS as an effective therapy intervention. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on the thinking patterns and behaviors that are sustaining or triggering your drinking patterns. It helps you look at the triggers for your anger in a more realistic light and ultimately changing your behaviour. For more information on cognitive behavioural therapy, click this link.
Hypnotherapy for anger management
Sometimes the reasons why you get angry may not be known to you at a conscious level. Getting angry may be as a result to negative stimuli which you are not aware of. Anger and excessive rage may surface because of a misinterpreted protection for yourself, emotional protection. Hypnotherapy is a highly effective way to make positive, lasting changes to your lifestyle by helping you to release the emotional behind whatever you may be experiencing. Hypnotherapy at the wellbeing clinic has the very practical approach of finding solutions to problems, naemely, soloution focused hypnotherapy rather than dwelling on the past. It involves using the conscious mind to set clear goals that will enable you to change old habits into more effective strategies.
With all conditions I treat in my practice I am always looking how to release the emotional behind whatever my client may be experiencing , as in this case, anger and frustration. Once you understand what the emotional attachment is, you will be well on your way to recovery. You did not intentionally set out to become like this, it generally is a circumstance of events which lead up to it. We will uncover that chain of events and help you to gain closure on them which will give you the motivation to succeed with the agreed goals. Using hypnotherapy in this way helps to shave off many weeks of traditional talking therapy because it works at the root of the problem...your subconscious mind.
