Hypnotherapy for Anger Management

Professional hypnosis treatments for anger problems at the Wombourne Clinic in Wolverhampton

Anger Management involves either Therapy or Counselling so that you can more easily cope with angry feelings that may affect your work or personal relationships.

At Wolverhampton Hypnotherapy we focus on therapeutic anger management using hypnotherapy combined with psychotherapy

Everybody experiences Anger at some time or another and it is in fact a normal human response.

Some people, however, cannot control their emotions and uncontrolled rage, or anger that is vented in the wrong “direction”, can have negative consequences on relationships.

Some Possible Anger Triggers

There are many “triggers” that can lead to anger, including some of the following:

• Grief at losing a loved one
• A perception of injustice
• Sexual frustration
• Withdrawal from some drugs
• Feeling threatened
• Believing that you are being ignored
• Believing that you are not being taken seriously
• Past Experiences that have been processed in an “un-helpful” way

People who have this problem may find that they experience anger with increasing frequency and begin to lose control over their reactions to what might otherwise be “normal” events.

If it does does get out of control it can often lead to serious problems with friends, colleagues and sometimes create conflict with the Law.

At worst, when Anger clouds the judgement completely, it can lead people into physical violence and all of the problems that go with “lashing out”.

Mental health surveys suggest that a third of adults are aware that they can often experience “unexpected anger” and just as many know someone who has an anger management problem.

Signs & Symptoms of Poor Anger Management

As mentioned above, the “Angry Response” is normal in certain circumstances.

When you get angry the body releases Cortisol and Adrenalin into the bloodstream which are designed to increase your heart rate, quicken the breathing and generally prepare the body for the “Freeze, Flight or Fight” response.

This limbic (“hard-wired”) response is designed to deal with a real threat and under these circumstances your “rational thinking” processes are “put-on-hold” until the danger has subsided.

Of course, people with Anger problems may unjustifiably perceive that a threat is present when in fact there is not – it is just a mis-perceived threat!

Your belief systems can distort reality and easily “perceive” almost any situation as a threat leading to the inappropriate response of anger.

If your body is repeatedly exposed to this flow of Cortisol & Adrenalin it can have a detrimental effect on your well-being, often leading to Panic or Anxiety disorders.

Poor Anger Management can Adversely Affect Your Health

Uncontrolled Anger has been shown to be linked with the following conditions:

• Elevated blood pressure
• Migraines and Headaches
• Sleep problems
• Eczema and other skin problems
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• Depressive Disorders
• Anxiety Disorders
• Heart Problems

Suppressed or bottled-up Emotions could lead to the following:

• Food and Eating Disorders (Bulimia, Anorexia)
• Problems of self-harming
• Alcohol Abuse
• Drug Abuse
• Low self-esteem
• Low self-confidence

Anger Management Testimonial

I come from an engineering background so was sceptical at first,  choosing not to do background research as I preferred to have an open  mind about the techniques used.

Sessions were held in a comfortable  environment and I found myself able to truly relax, with the suggestible techniques performed by Joan.

Each time I went was very rewarding and I  feel a lot more relaxed now, able to better understand how to control  possible triggers.

On reflection of the individual sessions I truly felt  afterwards that I had genuinely been hypnotised, it’s very hard to  explain.

I would certainly seek Joan’s expert care and professionalism  again, and I highly recommend her skills to anyone.

Hypnotherapy for Anger Management

Hypnotherapy can be particularly effective for helping people to locate and then use many of their own inner strengths and resources to combat the problems associated with Anger Management.

In this respect, hypnotherapy helps a person to ‘help themselves’ in very much the same way as other therapeutic approaches.

Taking anywhere between 6 and 10 sessions, hypnotherapy for Anger Management involves understanding how your earlier experiences, core beliefs and values have played a role in forming and reinforcing your phobia.

Hypnosis itself is very relaxing and allows you to explore memories and experiences related to your Anger Management that you might want to re-think in order to produce more positive responses and outcomes.

Initial Consultations for Anger Management

Joan offers all prospective clients a low cost initial consultation to discuss Anger Management and how it might be negatively impacting your life.

During this 50 minute consultation Joan will discuss the various options that are available to you and make a considered recommendation based on your individual personal circumstances.

At Wolverhampton Hypnotherapy we understand the importance of the therapeutic relationship and so place a great emphasis on being able to meet PRIOR to agreeing any kind of help.

Our policy is to help people make a fully balanced & considered decision about undertaking therapy with us, including both the financial, work-load and personal implications.
