Finding Peace After the Outburst: Faith-Based Help for Intermittent Explosive Disorder
Finding Peace After the Outburst: Faith-Based Help for Intermittent Explosive Disorder
Do you find yourself exploding with anger over things that seem small to others? Do you say or do things in the heat of the moment that you regret later—but feel powerless to stop? If your reactions feel bigger than the situation and you’re left feeling ashamed, isolated, or misunderstood, you may be struggling with Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED).
At Honey Lake Clinic, we understand how unpredictable and overwhelming IED can feel. These outbursts aren’t simply “bad tempers”—they’re symptoms of a treatable condition. On our peaceful, hundreds-of-acres campus in Florida, we help adults uncover the root causes of their anger and find a path toward lasting peace. 98% of our patients report meaningful progress during their time with us.
Call Honey Lake Clinic. If your emotions feel out of control, we’re here to help you reclaim calm and clarity—without shame.
What Is Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED)?
Intermittent Explosive Disorder, or IED, is a mental health condition marked by repeated episodes of sudden, intense anger or aggression. These outbursts are often out of proportion to the situation and can happen with little to no warning. While they usually last only a few minutes, their impact can be long-lasting—for you and those around you.
Common IED symptoms include:
- Explosive anger or yelling over minor frustrations
- Physical aggression (e.g., punching walls, breaking objects)
- Road rage, fights, or verbal tirades
- Feeling a loss of control during the episode
- Intense guilt, shame, or emotional shutdown afterward
- Difficulty maintaining relationships or employment due to anger issues
If these patterns sound familiar, know this: you are not a bad person. You are a person in pain—and there is help.
Getting help is really brave, even when it doesn’t feel like it.
I had reached a point where I saw no hope—no reason to live. I didn’t believe healing was possible for me. But at Honey Lake Clinic, I found a place where people truly understood both faith and mental health. The peaceful environment, the support, and the care I received made all the difference. I was wrong to think nothing could help me. Honey Lake Clinic did.

IED vs. “Normal Anger”
Everyone gets angry—but not everyone has IED. The difference is in intensity, frequency, and control. People with Intermittent Explosive Disorder often report feeling hijacked by their emotions, as if something takes over and they can’t stop it until it’s too late.
At Honey Lake Clinic, we help you understand the difference between healthy emotional expression and reactive outbursts—so you can regain control and respond with confidence, not chaos.
If you’re unsure whether what you’re experiencing is IED, call us. We’re here to talk, not judge.

Intermittent Explosive Disorder Treatment at Honey Lake Clinic
Treating IED involves more than anger management tips. Real healing means identifying the emotional, spiritual, and neurological patterns that fuel these outbursts—and replacing them with truth, grace, and practical tools that work.

Your IED treatment plan may include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to understand and interrupt anger triggers
- Impulse control training and emotional regulation techniques
- Faith-integrated counseling to explore how grace, forgiveness, and identity in Christ transform reactions
- Group therapy to rebuild trust and practice relational skills
- Trauma-informed therapy, such as EMDR or RRT, if past pain is fueling emotional outbursts
- Medication management when appropriate for underlying conditions like anxiety or mood disorders
- Spiritual support, including daily Bible study, worship, and pastoral counseling
You don’t have to fear your own reactions. You don’t have to live in constant apology. With the right tools and truth, your story can change.
