Anger Management Therapy
Hazlet, NJ
Understanding and Expressing Anger in Healthy Ways
Anger is a natural emotion that everyone experiences. When managed effectively, it can alert us to frustration, injustice, or personal boundaries being crossed. But when anger gets out of control or is expressed through aggression, it can harm relationships, affect work performance, and reduce overall quality of life.
Common Triggers of Anger
Anger can arise from:
- External situations – such as arguments, workplace stress, or traffic
- Internal stressors – like personal worries, unresolved trauma, or painful memories
Everyone’s triggers are unique. Learning to recognize them and respond effectively is key to emotional well-being.
Why Some Anger Is Helpful
Anger isn’t always bad. It can:
- Alert us to danger or injustice
- Motivate positive action
The goal is to express anger productively rather than letting it become destructive. Our therapists guide clients in channeling emotions into constructive communication and action.
