Relational anger in couples often arises from unresolved conflicts, unmet expectations, or feelings of hurt and frustration. It can manifest as heated arguments, passive-aggressive behavior, or emotional withdrawal, creating a cycle of misunderstanding and resentment. 

When couples struggle to express their anger constructively, it can lead to a breakdown in communication and intimacy. Recognizing the root causes of this anger—such as differing values, past grievances, or stressors outside the relationship—is crucial for addressing it effectively. 

In therapy, couples can learn to express their emotions in a healthy way, transforming anger into a catalyst for growth and deeper connection. By developing skills to manage and communicate anger constructively, partners can strengthen their bond and create a more harmonious relationship.

Anger management couples therapy can prevent misunderstandings from escalating. Practicing active listening—truly hearing each other’s viewpoints—helps validate feelings and rebuild connection. 

Let me help you approach anger as an opportunity for growth and deeper intimacy to transform your relationship dynamics positively.
