Anger can be a signal that a boundary needs to be put up or that a need is not being met.\u00a0 Many people were never taught how to healthily express their anger and have learned to suppress this uncomfortable emotion. When we don\u2019t express our anger in a healthy way or push it down, it can come out in other ways, such as reactivity or rage. Therapy can be a safe place to explore this anger and learn new ways to understand, manage and express it in a productive way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Therapy Might Look Like<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therapy is a place where you can better understand yourself. A therapist can support you in managing your anger by first getting to know it. Where does it show up? What is your response to the feeling of anger? What are the drawbacks of expressing (or not expressing) your anger in this way? From here, your therapist may incorporate tools to help you become more comfortable with the feeling of anger without reacting to it. An example of this might be offering <a href=\"https:\/\/betterlifecolorado.com\/old\/2023\/05\/01\/5_skills_to_help\/\">grounding techniques ,<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">such as naming the emotion or engaging your senses in some way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Word on Radical Acceptance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps your feelings of anger stem from a situation or event that is out of your control. Another approach your therapist may use to help you address anger (or any painful emotion) is radical acceptance, a foundational skill taught within<a href=\"https:\/\/betterlifecolorado.com\/old\/2023\/04\/05\/dbt-overview-what-is-dbt\/\"> Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Radical acceptance means to fully acknowledge the reality of whatever circumstance is causing you distress. This can be applied to a recent death of a family member, a loss of a job, or processing a natural disaster. Although radical acceptance can be an empowering skill to develop in taking back control of your emotions, it is important to note what radical acceptance <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">doesn\u2019t <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mean. Radical acceptance <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">doesn\u2019t<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> mean you think the situation is acceptable. Radical acceptance <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">doesn\u2019t<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> mean you are throwing in the towel. Radical acceptance <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">doesn\u2019t <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mean you are sweeping the issue under the rug. Ultimately, radical acceptance can be a valuable tool in managing anger and reactivity by allowing the reality of whatever circumstance you are in to exist, ultimately, diminishing your reaction to it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re needing guidance to navigate and problem solve the source of your feelings of anger or support in moving toward radical acceptance, you don\u2019t have to do it alone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sources:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DBT Skills List<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
