4 Ways to Stop the Spiral of Anger
In our counseling work with individuals, we see many people who have a difficult time expressing and managing angry feelings. Let’s take a look at what causes people to become angry and how they can respond to stressful situations more productively.
Managing the Stress in Your Life
Many people seek therapy due to stress, and we could write a book on this subject (and many people have). But we want to offer you some simple steps you can take to manage stress in your life.
