Anger Management Therapies For Teenagers

Does your child have problems with controlling their anger? Are you looking into the different forms of anger management treatment and therapy? Are you becoming stressed and tired by the emotional burden that associates having a teenager with anger management issues?

I would have answered yes to all of these questions a few months ago, I have a daughter who is thirteen years of age, to say she had difficulty controlling her anger would be an understatement. Happily she has now turned full circle and all though not perfect, which nobody is of course, my daughter has returned to be the loving, caring and decent human being that she used to be. This article describes the long road/journey that we went on in an attempt to find a suitable anger management therapy course.

Before I start I would like to confirm that I am in no way an anger management expert; I am a person who works in various fields including stuttering therapy, selling quality composite doors and I am also in a partnership with a team that offers people Comet Voucher Codes.

It was quite strange, there did not seem to be a catalyst to my daughters anger problem, there was no family break or other trauma which you would normally associate with such an issue. It seemed to gradually grow, my daughter laughs about it now and has stated that she did not understand what was wrong with her at the time and just put it down to puberty.

During the period, she threw cups at her bedroom wall, slapped her mum, banged her head on a wall and many other crazy acts. As parents her mother and I were at a loss as to what to do. We tried to talk to her in a calm and controlled way, to ask her if anything was wrong or troubling her. We tried to in a way buy her affection back, this sounds so stupid now.

We were however to be quite fortunate. Our daughter actually approached us, after around six months of acting in this way, to ask for help. She realised that she was always seemingly in a bad mood and wanted it to end.

We looked for help via the doctor and searched on the internet. We eventually found an anger management specialist in London who stated that he could help. It was not cheap but we decided to give it a go.

He talked to her about many aspects of her life and she seemed to enjoy chatting with him. Part of the problem happened to be her diet, part was the fact that she was going to bed too late and therefore not getting enough sleep, the other area was the fact that she thought that her parents still treated her like a child.

The sessions lasted for around two months and I will be ever grateful to that anger specialist.
