At Evergreen Counseling, we understand that problematic anger often serves as a protective response to perceived threats or injustices, but can cause significant damage when expressed inappropriately. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that anger issues frequently have roots in earlier experiences where boundaries were violated, needs were dismissed, or power was abused—creating heightened sensitivity to similar triggers in the present.
Minor triggers rapidly escalate to intense anger with little control.
You recognize early signs of anger and can intervene before escalation.
Anger feels overwhelming and drives impulsive reactions you later regret.
You experience anger as information rather than a force that controls your behavior.
You struggle to identify what's really triggering your disproportionate anger.
You understand the connections between past experiences and current triggers.
Relationships suffer as others experience your anger as frightening or hurtful.
You express needs and boundaries assertively without aggressive outbursts.
You cycle between explosive anger and shame about your behavior.
You develop self-compassion while taking responsibility for managing your emotions.
We understand that taking the first step towards therapy can feel overwhelming. We’re here to make this decision easier for you.
Starting therapy can bring up mixed feelings—part of you might be eager, while another part hesitates to confront deeply buried emotions. You might doubt whether therapy can help, especially if you’ve struggled for a long time or had disappointing experiences with untrained therapists or life coaches. At Evergreen Counseling, our trauma-trained therapists are deeply committed to providing expert care.
