As previously mentioned, anger management problems often stem from past experiences. These experiences can shape your behaviour and belief system. So while you may think another person or situation is causing your anger, it may well come from yourself. Once this is understood, your hypnotherapist can begin work changing this.

To do so, your hypnotherapist will work on a conscious and unconscious level to help change your negative thought processes. Doing this may involve relaxation techniques and suggestions from your hypnotherapist to help control your anger.

The hope is that this will change your reaction to anger triggers. Instead of feeling overwhelmed and angry, you should feel calmer and more relaxed. Feeling calmer in stressful situations helps you to think more clearly so you can react in a more appropriate way.

Anger management hypnotherapy can also help with some of the symptoms of anger. For example, if you are suffering from anxiety, stress or depression hypnotherapy can be helpful.

The number of anger management hypnotherapy sessions you’ll need will depend on your individual circumstances. It is likely that your hypnotherapist will teach you some self-hypnosis techniques and relaxation tips. You can use these at home when you feel angry or stressed to help you control your anger in the long-term.

The goal of anger management. Many people think that anger management is about learning to suppress your anger. The true goal of anger management isn’t to suppress feelings of anger, but rather to understand the message behind the emotion and express it in a healthy way without losing control.

Feeling angry is a normal part of life. Usually anger is a result of feeling frustrated, insulted, deceived or even under attack. For many, anger is a natural reaction that passes quickly. In some instances however, it can become a difficult emotion to control.

Failing to manage anger effectively can lead to mental and physical health problems. You may find your anger management issues are affecting your relationships, your work or even your self-esteem.

On this page we’ll look at anger management in more detail and offer tips on how to deal with anger. We’ll also explore treatment options such as hypnotherapy for anger.

When does anger become a problem?
Anger can be a useful emotion that triggers a physical reaction in the body. This reaction is called ‘fight or flight’ and it normally happens when we are stressed or threatened. Adrenaline is pumped around the body, making you feel tense and ready to ‘fight’ the threat, or flee.

The problem here is that fighting or running away isn’t usually an appropriate option. This can make it difficult for us to express anger, and this is where some people develop a problem.

When you aren’t able to express your anger, you may bottle it up. This can cause angry outbursts at inappropriate times. It may also make you feel more angry in general, leading you to react more aggressively in other situations.

Everyone’s experience will differ, but the following types of anger issues are recognized as potentially damaging:

Chronic anger – Ongoing, prolonged anger can affect the immune system and result in other mental health issues.
Passive anger – When people express their anger in a passive way it often affects relationships.
Overwhelmed anger – Caused when an individual feels there is simply too much to cope with.
Self-inflicted anger – When anger is directed toward yourself due to guilt, it can be mentally damaging.
Judgmental anger – Directed towards others, the feeling of anger usually comes with resentment.
Volatile anger – Leading to violent outbursts, this form of anger can be troubling for loved ones.

If you don’t learn how to deal with anger, it can lead to physical and mental health problems.
