Anger carries information, but the way it comes out can cause harm or regret. CBT can help you understand triggers, notice early warning signs and create more choice in how you respond.

Understanding your experience
How anger can show up
Anger can be linked with feeling threatened, dismissed, ashamed, overwhelmed or powerless. Therapy does not ask you to suppress it; it helps you understand the full sequence and respond more safely.
Regret after conflict
Words, messages or actions feel out of proportion once the intensity has passed.
Bottling things up
You avoid expressing needs until resentment builds and comes out all at once.
Impact on relationships
People become cautious around you, arguments repeat or closeness begins to reduce.
A practical way forward

CBT maps the trigger, interpretation, physical response and action. This creates opportunities to intervene earlier, communicate more effectively and address what sits beneath anger.
Identify triggers and early body signals
