Couples should consider seeking help if:
- Anger leads to Fear, Hurt, or Emotional damage: If one or both partners feel afraid, intimidated, or deeply hurt by the other’s anger, it’s crucial to seek help.
- Recurring Issues: If the same issues keep triggering anger without resolution, professional help can provide strategies to break these patterns.
- Physical Aggression: Any form of physical aggression is a serious red flag. Couples should seek help immediately from a professional who specializes in anger management and potentially from law enforcement if safety is at risk.
- Impact on Other Aspects of Life: If anger in the relationship affects other areas such as parenting, work, or social interactions, it might be time to seek outside assistance.
