Intensive Anger management courses & Classes in Melbourne
Almost a third of people polled, report that they have a close friend who has anger bursts of anger. Twenty percent of people have ended relationships due to anger management issues.
There are many ways to address anger with therapy.
The path that is right for you will depend on your situation; the reasons for your anger; how you express your anger; your long-term goals. Because of this I don’t believe there is a single approach that can be applied to everyone. How I help people treat their anger must be specific to their needs.
That’s why I take a holistic approach which combines multiple therapy treatments, to find the right solution to the right problem
I offer a tailor-made one on one anger management course. The course helps identify underlying triggers. Moreover, we also investigate a somatic psychotherapeutic model to help uncover deeper unresolved anger issues. The courses are intensive, and range from 8-12 weeks.
In completing the course you will:
- Uncover the triggers that create the anger
- Increase the awareness of when anger arises
- Develop the skills in pProcessing the anger when it arises
- Resolve deeper underlying anger issues that have not been dealt with
- Renegotiate the somatic neuroception to find safety with others to help avoid anger
- Adopting healthier new behaviours
- Understanding the difference between passive, assertive, and aggressive communication styles.
Together we’ll learn strategies in working through emotional triggers, to help fundamentally shift behavioural responses.
Is my anger an issue?
Getting angry is a normal human emotion, however some people experience what is known as low frustration tolerance (LFT). LFT can make seemingly benign annoyances lead to full blown aggressive rage. The effect this can have on relationships can be catastrophic and cause them to breakdown.
It can cause others to be fearful of you, or the anger can be turned inwards with destructive results. Together we’ll learn strategies to work through emotional triggers and help fundamentally shift your behavioural responses.
Have you ever noticed yourself getting incredibly worked up over things that later seemed to be completely unimportant?
When it happens, you can’t stop it. You feel an intense anger you feel is completely justified, perfectly proportionate to the issue upsetting you. Attempts to calm you down make it worse.
Maybe sometimes you feel the anger, but don’t necessarily act on it. Or you make a mean comment, a rude gesture, raise your voice, shout, scream abuse … or possibly even lash out.
While it’s natural to lose our temper on occasion, if this becomes chronic or affects your daily life, it’s a serious issue.
Luckily, anger management therapy can help.

5 Key Facts About Anger
There are a lot of misconceptions about anger, so I feel it is important to be clear about what anger is, what it isn’t, and where it comes from. I feel it is important to be clear about what anger is, what it isn’t, and where it comes from
FACT ONE: Anger is a valid emotion.
It is common to see anger as a negative, undesirable, almost unhealthy emotion. Any show of anger is bad, right? Not so. Like any other emotion, it is a valid response to certain circumstances, and perfectly healthy in most cases.
FACT TWO: Anger can sometimes be a secondary emotion.
We usually get angry because of another This is where therapy is useful in treating anger — it helps to find and address the underlying causes, such as humiliation, frustration, guilt, fear, sadness, loss of control, or rejection.
FACT THREE: Anger comes from without and within.
Internal and external events have an impact on our thoughts, body and behaviour
FACT FOUR: Angry behaviour is learned behaviour.
As we grow up, we learn how to express anger by watching others, typically our parents. This is why anger management issues can often “run in the family”, so to speak.
FACT FIVE: Anger doesn’t need to be expressed through aggression.
Meditation, exercise, and structured breathing can all be ways to express or respond to anger. As above, we only think that anger leads to aggression or violence because that’s how we learn to express it.
