Anger Management
Losing control in anger has devastating consequences for you and those around you. When anger gets the upper hand, even those you love live in fear and anxiety. Anger is a powerful and valid emotion that can be positively channeled for good – but it takes knowing how to control it. Anger out of control is like a raging fire that consumes everything it touches.
At Tri-Star Counseling, we understand the toll that uncontrolled anger can take on your well-being and those around you. We teach you how and help you identify the causes of your anger and learn to improve your relationships as you get better at controlling anger responses. Our compassionate, licensed therapists guide you on your journey to anger management and help you achieve lasting transformation.

Why Do I Get So Angry?
People react differently to stimuli. Things that make one person angry don’t affect others at all. Interpreting things in a way that results in anger is not wrong. Explosive, uncontrolled anger is what causes harm. What are some reasons you get so angry?
Your Background and Upbringing
Our upbringing influences our coping mechanisms for many things. What we witnessed and understood to be normal shapes how we act. Watching authority figures react with terrible anger leaves an impression and, in a sense, gives us permission to do the same. Past experiences can also shape how we react. Past traumas, abuses, or racism can cause our anger to boil over, especially if we were unable to show our anger at the time of the events.
Your Current Circumstances
Worry, stress, grief, injustice, discrimination, financial struggles, disagreements, and more can trigger anger. Pent-up anger over chronic issues can boil over in an explosive event where we don’t even recognize ourselves.
Your Health and Well-Being
Your health can contribute to problems controlling anger. Pain, hormonal changes, and some mental health issues can transform us into an angrier person. Our sense of well-being is different or threatened, and we don’t know how to cope with the changes.
