Anger isn’t just a problem to fix. It’s a message. Hi, I’m Dr. Tom McDonagh from Good Therapy SF, and let’s talk about what your anger might be trying to tell you, because it’s usually more than just rage.
First, anger often signals a boundary has been crossed. Maybe you feel disrespected, dismiss or overlooked. Anger is your brain’s way of saying that wasn’t okay.
Second. Anger can cover up other feelings. You might actually be feeling hurt, anxious, or powerless, but anger steps in to protect you.
Third, it shows you what matters. What gets you fired up often points to your values, such as fairness, respect, and honesty.
So if your anger feels overwhelming or confusing. Therapy can help you understand and respond to anger with clarity. Reach out to Good Therapy SF if you’re interested for more.
