Regain Control and Find Inner Peace With Anger Management Therapy Lake Mary
Do you feel like anger is taking over your life, guiding your actions at every turn? One day, you’re lashing at your employees; the next, you’re scolding your kid because YOU had a bad day at work. Anger can seem all-empowering, deciding everything in your life. No wonder you feel like you’re distant from your friends and family because all of them are waiting for the other shoe to drop. But know this: you’re not alone.
Whether it’s a result of stress, frustration, trauma, or other underlying factors, unchecked anger can affect your mental health, relationships, and overall well-being, contributing to negative feelings in the current situation. In severe cases, it may even lead to violent behavior. The truth is, everyone feels anger—it’s a natural emotion. But when your anger becomes constant or uncontrollable, it can start causing harm. You might have already tried to manage it on your own, but if you’re finding it hard to cope, seeking help from a mental healthcare provider can make all the difference.
At Total Life Counseling, we understand that anger is a normal emotion. At the same time, we understand that it can be controlled, especially when it’s tampering with your personal relationships. Our experienced therapists specialize in helping you navigate and overcome anger in a healthy, sustainable way in Lake Mary.
What is the Importance of Anger Management Therapy
More often than not, uncontrollable anger is a cry for help related to persistent anger. Although a normal human emotion, you feel powerless, unheard, and unattended. It can stem from deep frustration or even past trauma.
When you’re not equipped with the right anger management skills and practical skills to help you, it can escalate into destructive patterns. It also hampers your physical health, leading to increased heart rate and high blood pressure. Not to mention, it’s a catalyst for chronic mental health conditions.
The good news is that anger management therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore the root causes of your anger and learn the benefits of anger management. You can find healthier ways to cope with your anger by searching “Anger management therapy near me”.
What are Anger Management Therapy Services Offered by Total Life Counseling
At Total Life Counselling, we provide anger management strategies based on your unique personality and needs in Lake Mary for all types of anger. Anger is a deeply personal emotion, the roots of which vary from person to person. We will have in-depth conversations to understand what sets you off and strategise steps to mitigate your reaction to events accordingly.
Individual Anger Management Sessions
Do you feel like no one understands your anger? People blame you for being angry, but no one gets where the anger is coming from.
At Total Life Counselling, our anger management counselor will recognise your unique situation, understand your behavioural patterns from childhood, and identify the catalysts that invoke such a strong response in you. We feel you, so we encourage you to be as open as you can be about your experiences in our 1-on-1 anger management sessions so we can understand you inside out.
Anger-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Total Life Counseling specializes in providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a proven and practical approach to addressing a wide range of mental health challenges.
Our experienced therapists use CBT to help clients identify and reframe negative thought patterns, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and achieve lasting emotional well-being.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or stress, our tailored CBT sessions empower you to break free from unhelpful cycles and build a more positive mindset. At Total Life Counseling, we are committed to guiding you on a transformative journey toward better mental health, one thought at a time.
Benefits of CBT for Anger Management
- Identify Triggers: Understand the situations, thoughts, or emotions that lead to anger and affects family members
- Challenge Negative Thoughts: Replace harmful, automatic thought patterns with healthier, balanced perspectives.
- Improve Emotional Regulation: Learn to manage intense emotions and maintain control during stressful situations.
- Develop Coping Strategies: Build practical tools to handle anger constructively, such as deep breathing or reframing techniques.
Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a powerful approach to managing anger by cultivating awareness and emotional regulation, ultimately enhancing the quality of life.
At Total Life Counseling, we incorporate MBSR to help individuals focus on the present moment without judgment, interrupting the cycle of reactive anger.
This practice fosters a deeper understanding of emotional triggers and equips individuals with the tools to respond calmly rather than impulsively.
Through mindfulness meditation, breathing exercises, and body awareness techniques, Total Life Counseling empowers clients to reduce stress, improve emotional balance, and embrace a sense of inner peace.
Benefits of MBSR for Anger Management:
- Increased Self-Awareness: Recognize and understand emotional triggers before anger escalates.
- Improved Emotional Regulation: Respond thoughtfully to anger-provoking situations rather than reacting impulsively.
- Reduced Physical Stress: Calm the body’s stress response with mindful breathing and relaxation techniques.
- Enhanced Focus and Clarity: Stay grounded in the present moment, preventing overreaction to perceived slights or frustrations.
Anger Group Counseling Therapy
At Total Life Counselling, our group anger management counseling provides a supportive environment. This is where individuals facing similar challenges can come together to share experiences, learn from one another, and grow collectively.
Guided by an experienced anger management therapist, group sessions focus on practical tools for managing anger.
This improves emotional regulation, and enhancing interpersonal skills, including strategies from online therapy. The collaborative approach fosters a sense of connection and accountability, helping participants achieve personal growth while benefiting from shared insights.
Benefits of Anger Group Counseling Therapy:
- Shared Experiences: Gain comfort in knowing you’re not alone in your struggles with anger.
- Peer Support: Build a network of understanding peers who can provide encouragement and motivation.
- Diverse Perspectives: Learn new strategies and coping techniques through shared insights.
- Cost-Effective Therapy: Access trained mental health guidance in a more affordable format than individual therapy to decrease feelings of anger.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Many times, anger is rooted in past trauma, including trauma experienced as a young adult, unresolved issues, or long-held grievances, including negative events. By using a trauma-informed approach, we help you uncover and process underlying issues that may contribute to your anger, including mental health challenges like oppositional defiant disorder. This approach addresses root causes of past trauma or unresolved emotional wounds that may trigger angry responses.
Benefits of Trauma-Informed Therapy
- Creates a safe and supportive environment for healing
- Promotes understanding and validation of trauma experiences
- Reduces symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD
- Encourages healthy coping mechanisms and emotional regulation
We also offer an 8 hour long anger management class to help you better manage your anger.

Anger Management Curriculum for Children and Teenagers
I remember when I was 21 years old and bought my first Mustang. It was a pretty two-door aquamarine car that could really go fast. Well, the day I drove it off the lot I remember noticing that the gas gauge was low. I ignored it. I had to show this beauty off to a bunch of my closest family and friends. I continued driving letting others dote on my car while I sat back with a ever so slight smirk on my face. To make a long story short I ended up stranded, walking to gas station. Why? Because I disregarded the gas light until it was too late.
Children and adults often deal with anger in the same way, by ignoring the anger until it is too late. Then…watch out as there might be yelling, expletives, stomping, punching, banging or some may stuff it down inside. In either case, it is dealt with poorly and the results can be even more debilitating. In children, diagnoses such as Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Adjustment Disorder, and Depression often have anger as a symptom. While in adults, diagnoses such as Anti-Social Personality Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Adjustment Disorder, and Substance Abuse often display uncontrollable and inappropriate anger tendencies.
These emotions are much like my dummy light on the Mustang. When the light comes on we have the choice to deal with it or ignore it. Anger is not the problem. It is how we choose to deal with it. The anger management group offered at Total Life Counseling led by myself will approach anger from this vantage point, pointing out various methods by which we can identify our anger and handle it appropriately.
