Anger Management
I always clarify with clients that anger in itself is not a problem. It is when anger is translated into aggression and rage that it becomes a concern. Anger if used appropriately, can be a motivator for positive change, especially when righting an injustice.
It is important to enable the client to separate out his anger from his self-identity; he is not his anger. For in the moment management of anger, I encourage the client to be self-aware of their anger behaviours, triggers and especially how it affects others.
For longer-term resolution, early life experiences will be explored to suggest learned behavioural responses based on negative core beliefs that will have to be changed.
