1. Understanding Triggers: Therapists work with individuals to identify the underlying causes and triggers of their anger. This might involve exploring past experiences, current stressors, and patterns of behavior.

2. Developing Awareness: Clients learn to recognize the physical and emotional signs of anger before it escalates. This awareness empowers them to intervene and use coping strategies to prevent uncontrolled outbursts.

3. Coping Strategies: Therapists teach individuals a range of coping techniques to manage anger. These might include deep breathing, relaxation exercises, mindfulness, and cognitive restructuring – changing thought patterns that contribute to anger.

4. Communication Skills: Learning effective communication skills is key to expressing anger in a healthy way. Clients practice assertiveness, active listening, and conflict resolution techniques to address issues without resorting to aggression.

5. Stress Management: Since stress often fuels anger, therapy may include stress reduction techniques such as time management, self-care practices, and problem-solving strategies.
