Anger management: Information, tips and help in Berlin & online

Anger management

Anger is a very normal, often healthy, human emotion and most people have experienced it at some point during their life.

Anger is an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury and rage. It can be an extremely powerful emotion and is nature’s way of empowering individuals to protect themselves against a perceived attack or threat.

It is the mismanagement of anger that causes problems. When anger becomes out of control it can have many negative consequences, including damaging relationships, causing problems at work, domestic abuse, road rage, violence and generally affecting the overall quality of an individual’s life and often the lives of others around them.

Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing can sometimes help calm down angry feelings. If anger is affecting everyday life, counseling can often help to develop a range of techniques for changing the way an individual thinks and behaves.

Hypnotherapy is ideal for treating problems that can surface from the subconscious mind such as anger. Hypnotherapy can also help an individual to change the way they think or behave in situations that cause their anger to flare up. By accessing the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy can often help identify the root cause of the problem and help the individual to learn how to deal with it in a calmer, more relaxed way.

How to Decide to Ask for Help

Overcoming Doubts About Seeking Support

Are you wondering whether you need professional help to recover? You might feel that you should handle things on your own or worry that seeking help means you’re not strong enough. Perhaps you fear that discussing your issues could worsen your symptoms. These concerns are natural, but addressing them can clear the way for meaningful progress.

The Value of Reaching Out

Taking the step to seek help doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It’s a sign of emotional strength and self-awareness. Therapy offers the chance to balance personal autonomy with the support of a trusted professional. An experienced therapist will guide you at a comfortable pace, never pressuring you to discuss topics you’re not ready for. Emotional resilience grows through learning when and how to seek support while maintaining independence.

Assessing the Impact of Symptoms

To determine if professional assistance might benefit you, consider how your symptoms affect your daily life:

• Are your relationships fulfilling and healthy?
• Can you focus and perform effectively at work?
• Do you feel joy and satisfaction in your daily life?
• Is there a sense that life could be more fulfilling?

If your symptoms limit your ability to thrive in these areas, reaching out for help could be a valuable step.

Meet Your Therapist

Specialized Care for Anxiety and Fear

With over 20 years of experience, I have focused my practice on helping individuals overcome fears and anxiety disorders. Each week, I dedicate approximately 20 hours to empowering clients to break free from their limitations and achieve a higher quality of life.

A Trust-Based, Personalized Approach

Therapy is a deeply personal journey. To build trust and provide transparency, I offer insights into my professional background and therapeutic philosophy in my profile. This openness sets the stage for a collaborative relationship, ensuring you feel supported and understood throughout the process.

Flexible Language Options

To meet your unique needs, sessions are available in German and English. This flexibility ensures effective communication and comfort for all clients.

Appointment booking

Please read the important information before making an appointment with me, including the contraindications for psychotherapy with hypnotherapy. I have answered frequently asked questions for you. For the success of your therapy, this information is of crucial importance. If this attracts you, then you can find out about booking your appointment here. The better you are informed, the faster we can focus on you and your wishes.

To make an appointment, you can preferably contact me by e-mail (mail@noack-hypnose.de) or by using the contact form (privacy policy) as well as by phone 01577 704 53 56 or 030 - 864 213 69. You will then receive a confirmation of your reservation by e-mail. In this reply, you will find the details for the first session. This usually happens within 24 hours. If you do not receive a reply, it could be because an email has ended up in the spam filter. In such a case, please call me.

There are only a few practice hours available, and they want to be used well. The fee for individual session hours is therefore always to be paid in full by bank transfer, with payment received at least 7 days before the session.

Why at least 7 days in advance? I would like to do it differently, but this is the best practice. Appointments that have not been confirmed with payment received seven days in advance are noticeably more likely to be canceled. And the repeated callbacks take up a lot of time. Because of this, I'm currently faced with the decision of whether and how to either significantly adjust fees to absorb this or to consistently organize in a way that is fair to all parties. Because of this, I am also offering options in terms of shifting appointments with the fees.

There is a maximum of 20 hours a week available for psychotherapy, and any canceled appointment means patients are unable to benefit from psychotherapy help. I understand that it would be more convenient for you otherwise, but this solution is the fairest for all involved.

You can use real-time bank transfer (costs 25 Ct. at Sparkasse Berlin, for example) for time-sensitive appointments, and the transfer takes a few minutes, or we can make an appointment with appropriate advance preparation. If this is not an option for you, please let me know immediately so that I can assign your appointment. Otherwise, I appreciate your understanding and look forward to intensive cooperation.
