Can anger issues be cured?

Cure is a strong word, but anger issues can be improved and managed over time. The goal of anger management isn’t about achieving perfection. Instead, it’s more about learning how to identify your triggers and implement healthier coping skills for managing your reactions. The more you practice these new skills, the easier (and more natural) they tend to feel.

Additionally, over time, practicing anger management strategies can help you:

  • feel more “in control” of your reactions and responses to stress

  • strengthen your relationships,

  • practice better impulse control

  • improve your overall mental health

During stressful times, it’s normal to feel angrier than usual. Change can be difficult.Be prepared for setbacks and obstacles during this process. Growth isn’t always linear, and that doesn’t mean you’re failing. 

Working with a therapist that specializes in anger management is usually the most effective treatment. They can collaborate with you to create an effective plan for sustainable change.
