Anger usually has more underneath it.
What looks like a short fuse is often something else carrying the weight. Old hurt, chronic stress, or a sense of being unseen.
OFTEN IT'S GRIEF, FEAR, OR EXHAUSTION IN A DIFFERENT SHAPE
You might recognize it as snapping at people you care about, a tension that won't release, or reactions that surprise even you.
Therapy can help you understand what the anger is actually doing for you, and give you more choice in how you respond.
Signs anger may be doing too much work
Reactivity has many shapes. You might notice.
Snapping at people you care about
Persistent irritability or a short fuse
Feeling out of control during the reaction
Regret or shame after the moment passes
Anger that masks sadness, hurt, or fear
Tension in the body that doesn't fully release
How therapy can help with anger
Therapy for anger isn't about white-knuckling restraint. It's about understanding the function of your reactivity, what it's defending, what it's expressing, and what would let it stand down.
Over time, this work helps the reactivity loosen, so you can stay present in difficult moments instead of being hijacked by them.
OUR APPROACH TO ANGER THERAPY
WHAT TO EXPECT
Anger therapy
Sessions are collaborative, steady, and shaped around you.
Early sessions focus on understanding when and how reactivity shows up, what triggers it, and what's underneath. From there, the work helps you build steadier responses without forcing them.
Sessions typically last 45–55 minutes and are often held weekly, especially at the beginning.
