Anger Management Therapy

There’s a perception in our society that extreme anger is a moral failing. In reality, a study of 2,600 people with anger management issues showed 87% of them also had psychiatric conditions.

The good news is, SUN Columbus can help. We offer anger management therapy alongside mental health services to empower individuals to regain control of their emotions and lives.

What We Treat: Anger Management Concerns

Anger isn’t inherently bad. It’s a natural, healthy emotion to feel, especially in the face of injustice, unfairness, or pain. Anger can give you the courage to right wrongs, but when dealt with in an unhealthy way, it can negatively impact you and others.

You’ve probably experienced a frustrating situation while driving. Maybe you even yelled something about the other driver. Ohio is 10th on the list of states with the worst road rage, so you wouldn’t be alone in that. Road rage is common, but is still an example of the need for proper anger management, even if it’s usually harmless.

Unfortunately, there are far more serious instances of poor anger management. Sometimes, yelling progresses to physical violence. 2,505 people in Columbus received a domestic violence charge in 2022, and anger was undoubtedly involved in many of those cases.

If your anger is causing harm to you or others, it’s time to consider anger management treatment. It doesn’t have to be as extreme as violence, either – if you frequently argue with loved ones and hurt their feelings, or moments that make you angry ruin your entire day, we’d recommend anger management therapy, too.
