What is anger management therapy?

Anger is a human emotion that everyone experiences. It becomes problematic when uncontrolled outbursts lead to harm to oneself or others. Similarly, extreme suppression of anger is also a sign of poorly managed emotion.

The purpose of anger management therapy in Dubai is to help people express their anger healthily. It teaches people how to control their bouts of rage, and calm down effectively. Essentially, it aids in dispensing coping mechanisms and strategies for effective anger management.

Signs of anger issues

Anger is not always bad; it forms a key component in the fight response, which is vital for self-preservation. The problem arises when one is unable to control their anger. It then not only starts a chain of negative emotions but can also lead to harm to people and even oneself. Uncontrolled anger can negatively affect your work life and relationships.

Keeping the anger in, even when it is justified.
Becoming violent when angry.
Losing control of your faculties during a fit of rage.
Reacting strongly to even minor triggers.
Experiencing health issues like high blood pressure, heart disease, headaches, and other conditions due to poor anger management.
Experiencing relationship problems because of the anger issues.
Having run-ins with the law and frequent fights with others.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): Helps in understanding the triggers and developing healthier responses.
Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT): Uses mindfulness to help individuals understand their emotions, assess situations better and respond appropriately.
Family therapy: The aim of this technique is to address anger problems directed at the family members or partners.
Psychodynamic therapy: It utilizes self-reflection to focus on the roots of the anger.
