Anger Management and Counseling in Atascocita, TX.

Anger has everything to do with personal history and hurt. Checking into these bottom lines yields clarity and growth. I am deeply aware of/value your story. Yet I also understand the necessity of taking responsibility for the effect our downward spirals have on those we love. Anger therapy walks the line between uncovering painful wounds, turning related conceptual "lights" on and ultimately doing the "head, heart and gut-checks" necessary to heal and move into a more healthy emotional/behavioral life. You'll find the support and tools to accomplish each of these here. I'd be honored to walk with you!

The Anger Management Therapy that I provide incorporates the materials of an Anger Management Course that was developed through extensive research and published by a governmental entity: Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services (SAMHSA). This program is uniquely beneficial for its ability to be offered in either a group setting or in one-on-one individual therapy. Another benefit of this particular program is that it is a manualized treatment - with statistically proven results - that incorporates session work, as well as homework, in order to maximize the benefits gained from the program between sessions. This program was also developed to accommodate individuals w/a substance abuse history

Why do we get angry? A lot of the time it is because we aren't getting what we want or what we think we deserve. Anger can cause people to do things they normally wouldn't want to do and even lead to consequences that could've been prevented had you had some better communication tools. Anger is a normal emotion. If you don't feel anger, you are not alive, at least in my opinion. We will uncover those false beliefs about anger and try and replace them with new, healthy beliefs that will help you live a happier life.

You'll find a secure, accepting environment to explore and comprehend your emotions in our workshops on managing anger. We'll identify the causes of anger and develop useful coping mechanisms so that it may be expressed and dealt with in a healthy way. We'll strive toward long-lasting emotional control and resolution by exploring the underlying issues. I'll provide you useful tips and tricks so you can respond to difficult circumstances with more poise and clarity. You will gain the abilities and self-awareness necessary to promote better relationships and handle life's issues with a more impartial viewpoint through our therapeutic partnership.

As a culture, we do not do well with healthy expressions of anger. Often we are raised to suppress it and then we have limited practice at dealing with big emotion. There is a spectrum of healthy aggression- to keep us safe and to maintain boundaries- and rage- our body's strategy for safety. Anger management is about applying the right "dosing" to maintain boundaries yet not fracture relationships or suffer other losses. I am able to help you learn to regulate your body to be able to apply the appropriate "dose" to be effective and not destructive.

Anger is a very normal emotion. Everyone experiences anger especially if we are threatened or mistreated, however if anger becomes too extreme, it can really disconnect and damage relationships and keep you from having a productive life. Therapy can help you manage your anger and help you communicate effectively what you really need so you are taken seriously.

My approach revolves around helping clients gain a deep understanding of the root causes and triggers of their anger.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of anger management in a very humane yet fresh perspective. You see, anger is a normal emotion but it is the valence (intensity) as well as the coupling choice of what one does with this that is the problem. Telling someone to "not" do it or modifying behavior with a trite psychological plan that only breeds a compliant response is not the way to change anger. Brainwave optimization is a new cutting edge technology that allows one to rewire circuitry responsible for reactivity driving the anger.

In my experience as an EMDR therapist, I pay close attention to the links between past and present. I’ve seen time and time again how unhealed emotional wounds resurface and come out sideways. While anger management can provide helpful strategies, they don’t get to the heart of the issue. Often, anger is what we see on the surface, but the real problem is what’s underneath the anger. Negative beliefs like “I’m helpless,” “I’m out of control,” and “I’m a failure,” start to bubble up, and anger comes to the rescue. It can get us in trouble, but at least it gets the blood pumping. With research-proven EMDR therapy, I help men heal anger at its source so it doesn’t have to be managed.

Learning better ways to manage your angry feelings starts with understanding fully the reasons for anger, what one hopes to accomplish by getting angry and better tools for communication. Finally for lasting change, one can learn to have alternative feelings rather than anger in the first place by understanding frustrating and hurtful situations in a new light. An anger management approach will be customized to your needs and your issues.

We have all faced circumstances in life that provoke anger. It is a very healthy and natural reaction to some stressful and problematic situations. Sometimes, however, these reactions go too far and hurt the people we love. There are several techniques that work well to reduce angry outbursts and aggressive responses directed at others. I can help you or your child discover strategies to remain calm in stressful situations and channel energy into emotional problem solving that leads to healthier and more positive outcomes.

Anger is our response to stress. Sometimes we feel anger to avoid some other emotion such as anxiety or hurt and other times anger is a way of mobilizing ourselves in the face of a threat. Regardless of the reasons for your anger, you may find that it is unproductive in your relationships with others. Our therapists can help you develop new responses to stress and help you stop the spiral of anger. Our approach to working with anger is both physiological and psychological. We will help you recognize and manage the physical signs and symptoms that occur when you're angry as well as finding new ways to express yourself and get your needs met in a way that others can understand.

Anger is not necessarily a bad emotion and one that can be used for progress. Together we can examine your anger and come up with a plan on how to manage and be comfortable with this emotion. I can help you with a number of coping solutions and show you ways to bring the emotion under your will. If there is an underlying root of your anger we can expose it and help it to heal.

Anger can negatively affect someone’s life in numerous ways, as well as hurt loved ones, colleagues, or strangers. It’s impossible to be joyful and angry at the same time. When you work with one of our professional counselors you will gain an understanding about what’s causing your anger and how to overcome it. Anger usually masks one or more deeper emotions and experiences, such as a perceived injustice, fear, and hurt or sorrow. Once you gain insights about what’s beneath your anger then you can begin to make some real progress in addressing it in healthier ways and overcoming it.

Struggling with anger can be isolating and overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate this journey alone. We specialize in helping individuals manage their anger in healthy and constructive ways. Through our compassionate and personalized approach, we work together to explore the root causes of your anger, develop coping strategies, and cultivate emotional regulation skills. Our goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can understand your anger triggers, express yourself authentically, and learn how to respond effectively in challenging situations. You deserve to live a life free from the grip of anger, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

Anger doesn’t have to equal rage. We can learn how to express angry feelings in ways which don’t cause fear in the people around us. Sometimes our feelings for a person are more possessive than loving. We can use humor in the form of sarcasm, masking our anger instead of sharing our feelings in a healthy way. It might feel like we go from 0-100 on the anger scale quickly, but it is a process similar to dominoes falling one after the other. If we can learn to recognize the process that occurs and slow it down in our mind, we can make better choices and express our feelings without the trauma, emotional and even physical damage that rage and anger inflicts on ourselves and those around us.
