Anger Management and Counseling in Doylestown, PA.

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.

Anger management is often worked through using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients increase awareness of their thoughts to help control their reactionary behavior. It can also be approached by looking at family and societal messages that support violent ways of expressing anger. Societal messages directed at men in particular, often support anger as an emotion men should focus on. This often masks other emotions, such as sadness or fear. Social Psychology paired with Emotion Focused Therapy can often help break down such negative messaging as well as increase healthy emotional awareness and expression.
