Client expressed feelings of guilt and concern about the impact on his relationships, stating "I don’t want to be like this, but I can’t seem to control it."

Client Session Summary:

Here's the summary of this client session. Remember, Quill does not record the client session. A therapist would provide a summary (like the one below) after the session is over.

Today’s 60-minute session with the client focused on his difficulty managing anger. He mentioned several incidents where he lost his temper with his family members. Ummm, client said he feels guilty afterward and worries about damaging his relationships. He said, "I don’t want to be like this, but I can’t seem to control it." We discussed the role of anger and how it can be managed effectively. We practiced some relaxation techniques, including progressive muscle relaxation. Client’s homework is to practice these techniques when he feels himself getting angry. He seemed committed to working on this and expressed a desire to improve. We’ll meet again next week.
