Can anger be really managed by counseling instead of prescription drugs?
Yes it can. While anger is one of the most volatile emotions, it is also one of the most receptive to psychotherapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy are the most widely and effective counseling methods for anger management in the world. Anger management methods are learned skills. While some people have problems with anger, and others don’t, anyone can learn and benefit from anger counseling. Prescription drugs do nothing to solve anger issues. Though they may sometimes brief physical relief, they do not address the core reasons for why we get angry and what to do in order to overcome it.
