Therapy for men who struggle with anger or irritability.
Feeling tired, disconnected, or like you’re always on empty?
Anger isn’t the problem. Feeling alone with it is.
Most men weren’t taught how to understand anger.
You were taught to either hold it in or “not make a big deal.”
So now it shows up as
irritability
snapping at people you care about
tension you can’t shake
shutting down
Anger is rarely about the moment.
It’s usually about overwhelm, pressure, hurt, fear, or exhaustion that has nowhere to go.
You’re not an angry guy.
You’re a guy carrying too much emotional load without the tools or space to process it.
common signs of anger & irritability in men:
• getting irritated over small things
• feeling constantly “on edge”
• shutting down when things get tense
• a short fuse with people you love
• going from calm to frustrated fast
• difficulty letting things go
• tension in your chest, jaw, or stomach
• guilt or shame after reacting
• feeling misunderstood or unheard
• losing patience when you’re overwhelmed
Many men describe it as:
“I don’t want to explode. I also don’t want to feel like this.”
why anger shows up this way
Anger is often the last emotion men notice.
Underneath it are usually emotions that never had space
pressure
anxiety
shame
loneliness
feeling unappreciated
feeling powerless or overwhelmed
When you don’t have a healthy outlet for those feelings, they build until your body reacts.
This isn’t because you’re unstable.
It’s because you were never taught the emotional skills to understand what your reactions mean.
how I help
In therapy, you’ll learn to
understand what your anger is protecting
recognize when you’re getting activated before it takes over
slow down your reactions
communicate without shutting down or exploding
handle difficult conversations with more clarity
separate past wounds from present triggers
build emotional awareness so anger isn’t the only signal your body uses
This isn’t about “calming down.” It’s about understanding the emotional signals behind your reactions so you can respond, not react.
