Struggling with Stress, Intense Emotions, or Anger

Stress - When It’s All Too Much

Life comes at us fast. Whether it’s work, relationships, health concerns or just the pace of everyday life, stress can build up in ways that leave you feeling overwhelmed or emotionally drained. You might find yourself anxious, irritable, exhausted or just emotionally “off,” without knowing exactly why.

Sometimes the hardest part is feeling like you have to push through it alone.

Common Experiences

Stress and emotional overload can show up as:

  • Trouble sleeping or unwinding, even when you're tired

  • Feeling numb, irritable, or emotionally fragile

  • Racing thoughts or difficulty focusing

  • Crying easily or feeling on edge

  • Feeling burned out or disconnected from yourself

  • Physical tension, headaches or fatigue

These experiences don’t mean you’re weak - they’re your body and mind asking for care.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy is a space to slow down and reconnect with yourself. Together, we’ll work to:

  • Understand the sources of stress and emotional overwhelm

  • Build healthier ways to cope and set boundaries

  • Process what’s weighing on you, mentally and emotionally

  • Learn tools to regulate your nervous system and feel more in control

  • Restore a sense of calm, clarity and emotional balance

You don’t have to “just deal with it.” Support can help you feel more like yourself again.

Understanding Your Anger

Anger is a natural emotion but when it feels intense, unpredictable or hard to control, it can cause real damage to relationships, self-esteem and your sense of peace. You might feel like you’re constantly irritated, holding things in until you explode or reacting in ways you regret later.

Many people weren’t taught healthy ways to deal with anger, so it either gets bottled up or bursts out in ways that feel out of proportion.

Common Signs of Anger Issues

  • Feeling angry more often than you’d like

  • Difficulty calming down once upset

  • Saying or doing things in anger you later regret

  • Feeling ashamed, guilty or confused after outbursts

  • Struggling to express needs or frustrations calmly

  • Physical signs like a racing heart, clenched jaw or tense body

You’re not broken and your anger isn’t the enemy. It’s a signal that something needs attention.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy can help you understand where your anger comes from and how to work with it, not against it. We’ll focus on:

  • Identifying triggers and patterns behind your anger

  • Exploring what emotions might be underneath (like hurt, fear or stress)

  • Learning tools to pause, regulate and respond differently

  • Communicating your needs more effectively

  • Building a relationship with anger that feels healthier and less destructive

With the right support, anger can shift from something that controls you into something you can work through and learn from.
