Steps from the Green Line
Anger Management Therapy Boston
Anger has its place. It can help us understand when there’s an injustice and give us the motivation and energy to deal with it. However, you become a potential risk if you cannot control your anger. This is particularly true if you turn your aggression towards objects, especially people. Those around you don’t deserve to feel fear or apprehension when you are angry.
If you cannot control your anger or have explosive outbursts that put others or things at risk, then you need to make a change. Anger management classes can help you understand your triggers, emotions, and responses. Anger management can help you control your anger through several techniques. Here at Back Bay Mental Health, we combine psychodynamic therapy with a holistic approach, which is designed to help you understand your anger issues, address them, and learn how to process your explosive feelings in healthier ways.
If you struggle with anger or aggression, or if you’ve been court-mandated to get anger management treatment, we are here for you. With our help, we can help you address extreme anger, aggression, and violent behaviors so you can create a better future for yourself.
Do You Need Anger Management Class?
Anger is a natural emotion. Every person will feel it, sometimes even every day. There is a lot to be angry about.
Anger itself is not the problem. You’ll only have a problem if your anger takes a toll on you or others. If your physical or mental health is suffering because you cannot stop feeling angry, then you should seek out anger management therapy. For example, anger can cause a heart attack, elevated blood pressure, or even a stroke.
You will also need to get help if your anger has turned to aggression, which means you’ve turned your anger outwards. When angry, you may break things or even try to hurt others (physically or verbally).
Getting control over your anger takes time, effort, and guidance. Our experts at Back Bay Mental Health can help you reach a stage of understanding and managing your anger that allows you to lead a healthier, happier life.
Who Benefits from Anger Management Classes in Boston?
Anyone who struggles to manage their anger, especially their aggression, can benefit from an anger management class. If you are a student, for example, who cannot help but get angry during stressful exam periods, then we can help. Don’t let your stressed anger damage yourself, your relationships, or others. Instead, get help from our anger management experts. We’ll help you develop techniques that improve your awareness, mindfulness, communication, and coping skills.
We can help you regardless of the cause of your anger. This means that we can help you manage your anger if you are living with:
Substance Abuse Disorder
Substance use can cause aggression. Withdrawals can cause aggression. If you are addicted to any drug or alcohol and have started to put your life or relationships at risk because of it, then it’s natural to need help. We can provide not only the anger management strategies that will help you process feelings in a calmer, healthier way, but we can also help you overcome your addiction in the first place.
As an intensive outpatient facility*, we can be there every step of your recovery after your inpatient medical detox. Together, we can help you overcome your addiction and the feelings of anger that come with it.
Bipolar Disorder
Those with bipolar disorder struggle with whiplash-like emotions. You can go from being in a manic, aggressive, or angry state and then flip over into a state of depression. For that reason, living with bipolar disorder on your own without support can be extremely difficult.
Getting treatments from us means not just learning the strategies to manage your anger. It means treating your bipolar disorder directly. This way, you can improve your sense of self, gain control over your reactions, and repair relationships.
Borderline Personality Disorder
BPD is another condition that can include anger and aggression as symptoms. Once again, we can help clients with BPD with more than just their anger but with their mental health disorders as well. Together, we can help you.
Intermittent Explosive Disorder
Explosive outbursts characterize intermittent explosive disorder. If you cannot control your anger and express it in violent or upsetting ways (often without any warning), you could put your relationships, safety, and even freedom at risk.
If you have angry outbursts and want to make changes, our therapy team can help. We will work together to help you understand what triggers your anger issues and then build life skills that help you manage your anger. Part of this is identifying triggers, removing yourself from those triggers, and then learning how to express yourself healthier.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Those with OCD can experience anger alongside anxiety and depression. If you struggle with managing your anger alongside OCD, then our therapists can help.
Your anger management counselor will help you build up strategies and skills that help manage your OCD and your anger all at once.
Anyone Who Struggles with Their Aggression
From professionals dealing with stress to students unable to manage their anxiety – many struggle to get a handle on their anger. You may personally suffer from feeling angry all the time, or others might suffer if you have explosive outbursts that scare or even harm them.
Our therapy treatment can help with awareness, anger management, and relationship mending. We approach everyone struggling with anger with complete compassion. We know our patients are here because they need help, and we are here to give it to them. Our anger management therapy can be done on its own, or it could be completed as part of a more comprehensive treatment plan.
