Anger Management Ipswich
Anger Management Ipswich – Anger is a natural response that we all have to our environment and to our situation, it is how we deal with this anger that affects us and the others around us. Generally, your anger is built up from underlying stresses and anxiety and dealing with this also helps to lessen the frequency that anger presents itself.
If your anger is affecting you or others around you it is time to deal with it – some markers of this include:
- in common situations, you often feel agitated
- your way is the only way and you see red if others don’t agree or don’t follow your way
- you find that picking fights is commonplace
- you have feelings of aggression towards others which may lead to making hurtful remarks towards others
- throwing items or throwing punches becomes commonplace when you are dealing with your anger
- you regularly deal with your anger by saying nothing – eg. giving the silent treatment or worse still regularly dealing with your anger with sarcasm

Anger Management – Dealing with Anger.
Anger is a normal emotions – similar to happiness and excitement – it is also essential to keeping ourselves balanced. The issue with anger is not so much with being angry, but the impact anger can have on those around us when not properly managed.
We have all heard to old adage, just walk away, or count to ten, but these seldom deal with the anger, they are more of an ignore the problem and hope it goes away type of deal.
An important step to managing our anger is to recognise it, and what triggers it. There are four main reasons for our anger to be triggered – being criticised, feeling a sense of injunctive, being prevented from doing what we would Iike to and someone breaking our rules – (for more info on these see LINK).
How successful we will be in managing the anger depends on how early we can catch it. I am not a fan of the term anger management, because once we are angry we rarely manage it. I believe more in trigger management, if we can recognise what cue our anger, and notice our physical responses to anger, we are more likely to be able to divert from that path of behaviour.
First step is to ask yourself what are your physical anger cues. These will often present before we notice we are even angry. For some it many be clenching of the teeth, for others, they may find they sigh more, or notice their hands starting for form fists… each of will have a different set of anger cues.
Once we can recognise the anger cue, we need to remove ourselves. Learning to do this allows us to take the time and space to assess what has triggered our anger. When we have worked this out, we can then put in place things to address and dissolve the anger, leaving us the capacity to deal with the situation in a calmer and more productive manner.
Anger is a common presentation we see people for. Sometimes it can take a bit of help, guidance and accountability to get it under control. And that’s ok. That’s what we are here for.
