Anger Management Therapists in Fairfield, Connecticut

Anger is a normal, natural emotion that we all experience from time to time. It often arises from frustration, feeling that you’ve been injured by someone, or perceiving an injustice. In many cases, it can be a helpful reaction that motivates us to take action, identify problems, make positive changes, and stay safe. However, anger can become a more problematic emotion when it is intense, frequent, or difficult to control. It can also be a trigger for aggression, a behavior that is intended to cause harm. Anger problems can have serious consequences that impact our lives, work, and relationships, and, in more extreme cases, anger can lead to legal difficulties.

Anger feels different for all of us. Most people find that it causes physical symptoms (such as a pounding heart or being hot and sweaty), as well as mental symptoms (such as feeling tense, irritated, humiliated, or resentful). Out-of-control anger can also affect our behavior; we might shout, break things, or ignore others. If any of these symptoms feel out-of-control or are interfering with your life, it may be helpful to seek out one of the therapists below to learn how to recognize your anger, learn healthy ways to express it, and work towards better controlling your reactions. Many therapists are trained to help with anger management, though their approaches to helping you change your thinking and behavior may differ.
