Anger management is a necessary skill for navigating adult life in a healthy, productive way. Everyone gets angry sometimes because it is a natural human emotion. Anger issues arise when a person is not able to control their response to this genuine human emotion. Dealing with anger can often be uncomfortable because, many times, a person doesn’t realize the problem until it has manifested outwardly through verbal outbursts, physical altercations, or eroding personal relationships. If you struggle with managing your anger, please call Red Oak Recovery® today at 866.457.7590 for more information about anger management therapy.

3 Benefits of Anger Management

Uncontrolled anger is sometimes clinically referred to as intermittent explosive disorder (IED). This disorder is estimated to affect up to 13 million in the US alone. Anger, when uncontrolled, can lead to unpredictable actions and choices, some of which you cannot take back. Therefore, learning to control anger can bring much-needed stability to your life. If you’re considering whether to enter an anger management program, it’s necessary to be aware of the benefits of learning to control your anger.

1. Better Relationships

Anger hinders healthy communication and contributes to the breakdown and deterioration of relationships. Most of the time, the people closest to an individual get the brunt of the anger directed toward them. With every repeated incidence of uncontrolled anger comes the potential for resentment, hurt feelings, or worse.

When a person refuses to take control of their anger, they risk losing the people in their life or having the view of their character permanently tainted. When you get therapy for anger management, you can gain the tools to control your reactive way of dealing with your anger. Then, you’ll learn healthy ways to diffuse it before it affects other people.

2. Better Overall Health

Anger issues can contribute to various mental and physical symptoms that are detrimental to an individual’s health and well-being. Potential issues include:

  • Increased risk of heart attack and stroke
  • Severe headaches
  • Memory and concentration issues
  • High blood pressure
  • Chronic body pain and fatigue
  • Sleep disorders
  • Weight loss or gain
  • Substance abuse disorders
  • Increased incidence of mental conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD

Attending an anger management therapy program can work for many people. Over time, the risks of all negative consequences to your mind and body are significantly reduced by participating and making an effort in an anger management therapy program.

3. Preventing Negative Consequences in the Future

When someone loses a job, friend, or relationship, they might finally seek out anger management therapy. There are many negative physical and emotional consequences and the risks you take every day that you live with an untreated anger issue. You are not the only one who suffers due to anger issues.

Your family, friends, and the people in your daily life are all impacted as well. Your children are at a higher risk of developing an anger-related disorder than adults. In addition, your significant other is probably experiencing unneeded emotional consequences if they’ve witnessed your anger, which can lead to further problems. Every day you go without getting the help you need, you risk losing something or someone important in your life. Anger management therapy is the best way to learn healthier coping mechanisms and get to the root of your anger issue.

Discover the Benefits of Anger Management Therapy at Red Oak Recovery®

Anger is often a way to cover up an underlying emotion that is uncomfortable for the individual to endure, such as sadness or embarrassment. Many people have picked up anger as a maladaptive way of coping with more profound inner anguish. In anger management therapy, people learn skills for controlling anger and healthier coping mechanisms. Therapy can help individuals get to the root of the anger to see what emotions lie underneath. Call Red Oak Recovery® at 866.457.7590 to begin the process of healing and hope for you and your loved ones.
