maybe anger management classes are an option for you. mental health agencies and crisis centers like domestic violence, and churches are always running anger management classes. So maybe your therapist can help you locate an anger management class that specifically deals with what anger is, and ways to control it for example my anger management classes used relaxation visualizations, doing worksheets, and role playing and we had homework assignments of keeping an anger log for the timeframe that the class ran and in class we had to take one of those situations that made us angry and explain how we dealt with the problem and if we could have done it differently.

If your therapist can't help you locate anger management classes looking in the phone book and calling other therapy agencys, crisis centers, churches and so on will get you all kinds of anger management classes. I know domestic violence is nation wide and they always have anger management classes running.

Also There might be a reason why your therapist is not working specifically on anger management. I know alot of friends where their therapist is not taking their anger issues and working on them separate from their other stuff because working on other things will also take care of the anger management problems for example some people anger problems come from their depression and mood swings, I know some people who have anger problems that are a part of other problems - medication, depression, the grief cycle, PTSD, and so on and once they take care of the other symptoms and problems they no longer have an anger problem. So maybe that is what your therapist is trying to do - help you take care of other problems first. and then if taking care of those other problems didnt help the anger management problems then she will take care of the rest of the situations in which you get angry with.

Hang in there
