Therapy Modalities Used To Treat Anger
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This is one of the most commonly used approaches for anger management. CBT helps individuals identify and change thought patterns that lead to anger and learn healthier ways to respond to anger triggers.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT is a type of CBT that teaches mindfulness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance skills. These skills can be particularly helpful for individuals with intense, quickly changing emotions, including anger.
- Mindfulness-Based Therapies: These therapies, which include meditation and deep breathing, can help individuals become more aware of their anger as they arise, allowing them to manage these feelings more effectively.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT): This approach focuses on finding solutions in the present time and exploring one’s hope for the future to find a quicker resolution to one’s problems. This can be helpful for individuals who are motivated to make quick changes.
- Psychodynamic Therapy: This approach brings forward unconscious thoughts and behaviours, helping individuals understand their anger roots.
- Art Therapy or Expressive Therapies: These therapies can help individuals express their anger safely and creatively, which can be particularly helpful for individuals who struggle to express their feelings verbally.
