Anger Management Therapy in Ottawa
Anger is a normal, healthy emotion. It tells us when something feels unfair or when a line has been crossed. But when it flares up quickly, feels out of your control or starts hurting the people you care about, it can be hard to live with. Therapy can help you understand your anger and respond in ways you feel better about.
When Anger May Be a Problem
Outbursts you regret afterwards
Feeling irritable or on edge most of the time
Arguments that escalate quickly at home or at work
Holding anger in until it builds up
Others telling you they feel afraid or on guard around you
Anger tied to stress, trauma, pain or exhaustion
How Therapy Can Help
Our clinicians use evidence-based approaches to help you notice your triggers, understand what sits underneath the anger, and practise healthier ways to express it. For many people, anger is connected to stress, burnout, grief or past trauma, so we look at the whole picture. Couples sessions can help when anger is affecting a relationship.
