Anger Management and Counseling in Carmel, IN.

My approach to anger management involves learning valuable coping and relaxation skills. However, it also involves learning the root causes of the anger and addressing distortions in thinking. Using Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy I help clients address their beliefs about situations which often cause the feelings and reactions that follow. I use homework, role playing and collaborative treatment goals to help ensure clients make progress and meet their intended objectives.

Anger management counseling can help to identify stressors and learn the steps to stay calm in the face of anger. The goal is to handle tense situations in more constructive and positive ways by reducing the emotional and physical arousal that anger can cause. It will provide the tools to take back your life and resolve the triggers that result in unplanned anger reactions.

Anger can be a frustrating emotion. At times it can feel so powerful that we believe we have little ability to control it. Anger, however, is not just a frustrating and powerful emotion...it is an energy, that when properly directed, can help us achieve great things. Without proper direction, anger can become destructive, especially if we choose to direct that energy toward another individual. The ability to manage strong emotions is a skill that can be learned and used to facilitate better interpersonal interactions. If you are having trouble managing strong emotions such as anger, we can help you learn to better manage, direct and regulate your emotional energies.
