Anger Management

Updated: Mar 1






Experiencing anger occasionally is a normal aspect of life. Typically, anger arises from feelings of frustration,

Wrath or rage is an intense emotional state involving a strong, uncomfortable and non-cooperative response to a perceived provocation, hurt, or threat. A person experiencing anger will often experience physical effects, such as increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and increased levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline. Some view anger as an emotion that triggers part of the fight or flight response. Anger becomes the predominant feeling behaviorally, cognitively, and physiologically when a person makes the conscious choice to take action to stop the threatening behaviour of another outside force immediately.

Anger can be a beneficial emotion that initiates a physical response in the body. This response is known as 'fight or flight' and typically occurs when we feel stressed or threatened. Adrenaline circulates throughout the body, causing tension and preparing you to confront or escape the threat.

The issue here is that fighting or fleeing isn't usually a suitable option. This can make expressing anger challenging, leading some people to develop issues.

If you can't express your anger, you might suppress it. This can result in angry outbursts at inappropriate times. It may also cause you to feel angrier overall, prompting more aggressive reactions in other situations.

Failing to manage anger can result in both physical and mental health issues. Your method of expressing anger might differ from someone else's. Some ineffective ways you might have learned to express anger include:

  • Outward aggression and violence, such as hitting or throwing objects, shouting, or being threatening towards others.

  • Inward aggression, like speaking negatively to yourself, neglecting your basic needs or self-harming.

  • Non-violent or passive aggression, such as giving silent treatment, intentionally performing tasks poorly, or being sarcastic.

These methods of handling anger may provide temporary relief, but in the long run, they can damage your relationship with yourself and others.


Hypnotherapy for anger

Hypnotherapy can help those with anger management problems in several ways. The initial aim of the hypnotherapist will be to understand the root cause of your anger.

As previously mentioned, anger management problems often stem from past experiences. These experiences can shape your behaviour and belief system.

Hypnotherapy is an extremely powerful tool to help identify anger triggers and engage with the conscious and unconscious mind to transform negative thought patterns.

Using an integrative approach Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for anger aims to identify and understand anger triggers. Instead of becoming overwhelmed and angry, you should experience a sense of calm and relaxation. Remaining calm in stressful situations allows for clearer thinking, enabling more appropriate reactions. By employing a range of therapeutic techniques that combine hypnotherapy and psychotherapy, it becomes efficient in identifying and comprehending anger management and behavioural traits that may contribute to and sustain a client's rage. Cognitive Hypnotherapy psychotherapy addresses the root cause of anger issues, alters perception patterns, and empowers clients to feel calm and manage negative emotions.

 











er is a normal human emotion, not a mental illness. It’s a natural response to some events - such as being insulted or attacked - and it often involves a sudden burst of feeling, which then passes, though some are left with residue feelings which could range from humiliation to resentment. The range of expressions can vary due to a number of factors - everything from how you were raised, what else is going on in your life at the time, whether you’re hungry or tired - but for some people, angry and aggressive behaviour becomes so much a part of their lives it causes real problems for relationships, work and health.

 



Anger is not a problem; it is an emotional response. It is how people handle the emotion of anger that becomes the problem. Recognizing anger is the first step in helping someone who uses violence or other destructive methods of dealing with anger to change the way anger makes them act.  You can not change the way anger makes you feel but you can change how you respond to your feelings. Anger is a result of feeling frustrated, insulted, deceived or even under attack. For many, anger is a reaction that passes quickly in some instances. 

 

Recognising Anger

 

The important thing is to manage how you express your feelings and how you act on your anger. In spite of the bad rap, it gets, anger expressed in the right way is a healthy device for accomplishing change, getting things done or moving forward.

 

Many times, we begin to react to the physical feelings of anger before thinking about what a rational response would be. Other people may shut down completely and internalize the anger. Most of us develop habits for the way we deal with anger.

 

How can hypnotherapy for anger help

 

We use a verity of therapeutic techniques  CBT, NLP and EFT  with the integration of hypnotherapy render it a highly successful way to identify and understand anger management and behavioural traits that might be causing and maintaining the client's rage.

The goal of anger management is to control both the emotional feelings and physiological arousal that anger creates.
