Anger Management Therapy in Toronto
Anger is one of our natural responses to the world around us. We often think of anger as a negative thing, but it can lead to some positive change when communicated in the right way.
Anger becomes an issue when it becomes all-consuming and leads to harmful decisions. Signs that you may have anger management issues include:
- You can’t seem to snap out of your anger
- You notice that small things make you very angry
- Others have voiced concern over your anger issues
- You often regret the things you do or say when angry
- You hurt yourself or others physically or verbally when you’re angry
They're often associated with their families, friends, and coworkers, but most of all, anger issues affect the individual experiencing them. Anger management issues are associated with lower life satisfaction, negative physical health, and worsened relationships. They are also often signs of depression or anxiety.
What is anger management therapy?

- How to feel at peace and take back control of your life
- How to communicate your feelings to the people around you
- Tools and techniques to keep you from harming yourself and your loved ones
