Frequently asked questions

Stress and anger management therapy helps individuals develop healthier ways to cope with stress, regulate emotions, and respond to challenging situations without becoming overwhelmed or reactive. It focuses on identifying triggers, building emotional awareness, and using effective coping strategies.

You may benefit from therapy if you:

  • Feel constantly overwhelmed, frustrated, or on edge
  • Have difficulty controlling your temper or reactions
  • Experience frequent conflicts at work, home, or in relationships
  • Use unhealthy coping mechanisms like avoidance, aggression, or substance use
  • Suffer from stress-related physical symptoms (headaches, muscle tension, sleep issues)
  • Feel like your emotions control you rather than you controlling them

Stress and anger can stem from various factors, including:

  • Work or financial pressures
  • Relationship conflicts
  • Unresolved trauma or past experiences
  • Low frustration tolerance
  • Anxiety or depression
  • Unrealistic expectations or perfectionism
  • Lack of healthy coping skills

Mindfulness practices help individuals stay present and develop greater emotional awareness, allowing them to pause and respond rather than react impulsively. Biofeedback Heart Rate Variability (HRV) training teaches individuals how to regulate their body’s stress response, improving emotional control and reducing physiological stress symptoms.
