Anger and Aggression

Helping You Understand, Express, and Manage Anger in Healthy Ways

Anger is a natural emotion. However, when it feels out of control, overwhelming, or leads to consequences in your relationships, work, or self-esteem, it may be time to seek support. Whether your anger shows up as explosive outbursts or simmering resentment, you’re not alone, and you’re not broken.

At Four Wings Psychology, we provide therapy in Nepean and across Ontario to help adults and teens better understand their anger, develop healthier coping tools, and address the deeper emotions underneath.

When Anger Becomes a Problem

Anger itself isn’t bad: but the way it’s expressed or suppressed can impact your wellbeing and the people around you. You might be:

  • Snapping or yelling more than you’d like
  • Feeling constantly irritable, on edge, or tense
  • Bottling things up until they explode
  • Breaking things, hitting walls, or becoming verbally aggressive
  • Struggling with guilt, shame, or regret after angry episodes
  • Noticing anger is hurting your relationships or job
  • Feeling misunderstood or out of control

You don’t have to wait until something serious happens to get support. Anger is often a signal, and therapy helps you understand what it’s trying to say.

How Therapy Helps with Anger and Aggression

At Four Wings Psychology, we create a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore your anger — without shame or blame. Our approach focuses on both emotional insight and practical tools. We help you:

  • Understand your anger triggers and patterns
  • Learn to pause before reacting
  • Develop skills to express emotions safely and assertively
  • Identify underlying emotions like fear, grief, or hurt
  • Work through past trauma or unresolved tension
  • Improve communication and boundaries in relationships
  • Rebuild trust and self-respect

We use approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness, and trauma-informed techniques all tailored to your specific needs.

Who This Is For

  • Adults or teens who feel like their anger is hurting their relationships or quality of life
  • People with a short fuse or frequent irritability
  • Clients working through childhood or intergenerational anger
  • Those facing high stress or burnout leading to aggression
  • Parents, partners, or professionals seeking healthier emotional regulation

You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Taking the step to get support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

  • A non-shaming, client-centered approach
  • Support for adults, teens, and families
