Signs anger is getting in the way
Anger is a normal emotion. It's worth getting support when it feels out of control or starts hurting you or the people around you.
- Snapping at people you care about
- Feeling angry most of the day
- Regretting things you said or did
- Arguments that escalate quickly
- Physical tension or clenched jaw
- Road rage or outbursts
- Using alcohol or drugs to cool down
- People walking on eggshells around you
Understanding anger management
What's behind anger?
Anger often sits on top of other feelings, like hurt, fear, shame or exhaustion. It can be a reaction to being treated unfairly, again and again.
For LGBTQIA+ people, anger can build from discrimination, rejection or having to stay quiet to stay safe. That anger makes sense. The goal is to make sure it works for you, not against you.
How our team can help
A plan that fits you, not a one-size script
01
We get underneath the anger
Your psychologist helps you notice your triggers and the feelings sitting underneath them, without judgement.
02
You learn to respond, not react
You'll build practical skills to calm your body, pause before reacting, and communicate what you need clearly.
03
How therapy can help
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps you catch the thoughts that fuel anger and respond differently.
Emotion regulation skills give you tools to calm your body and mind when anger rises.
Try this today
Try the 90-second pause
- Notice the first signs: heat, tension, a racing heart.
- Step away if you can, and say you need a minute.
- Breathe slowly, making each out-breath longer than the in-breath.
- Come back when your body has settled.
Strong emotions often peak and ease within a few minutes when you don't feed them.
