Handle Your Anger Management With Dr. Cousins in Houston, TX

Anger is a problem that very often brings children, adolescents, and men into therapy. Women can have anger problems too, but young men are the group that most often suffers from anger problems. The failure to adequately deal with anger is probably at the root of a majority of couple problems as well.

Anger issues are more common in men than in women, but anyone can have problems with an out of control temper.  In our fast paced living, this problem is growing.  Road rage may be just the tip of the iceberg.   Anger management is an issue that I like to change to bring happiness! The good news is that if there is something that you are doing that is responsible for a problem, then it is something that can be changed, since we can only change ourselves, try as we might to make others change, it cannot be done! When we get angry at something it can feel as if this person or situation out there in the world is making us angry. With some reflection however, we can begin to understand that it is, strictly speaking, not the situation itself that is making us angry but more specifically, how we perceive and interpret a situation that makes us angry. We can prove this to ourselves by imagining a highly spiritual person, like Jesus or the Dalai Lama, who would not get angry in our situation. We don't have to be exactly like them, however, that is a bit unrealistic! They remind us of what we can all be capable.

We may not be aware that we are saying anything to ourselves, since anger can flash very quickly, and we may not be aware right away that there are new ways of perceiving a situation. That is where the right counseling with the right therapist can come in.
