By virtue of the fact that you just Googled that phrase I would say it could not hurt. Your search indicates that you are having angry outbursts that are causing you or those around you distress. Maybe someone even suggested you go to counseling. It doesn’t matter. The great news is you are considering getting help! Therapy can help you to uncover the triggers to your angry outbursts. Knowing what causes them will decrease their frequency without any other intervention. Awareness brings change. Oh, and awareness that “others make me angry” isn’t awareness. Just sayin… Anyway… awareness of the causes of your anger is often not enough to change the behavior alone. Therapy can also help you to discover how to regulate your body (mind and physiology) when experiencing a trigger. You do not have to try to do this alone. Seeking help says that you are smart enough to know when your “stuff” is getting in the way of your happiness or the happiness of those around you. If you would like to learn more about how to curb your temper, seeing an anger management therapist can help.
