Anger is a normal feeling that all people experience. The trouble is often when anger leads to aggression or destructive BEHAVIOR. Often anger issues have dramatic costs including in relationships, at work/school, legal issues, and others. Often anger covers underlying emotions that drive anger including sadness, frustration, feeling disrespected, and shame/guilt to name a few. I help my clients understand their anger issues and learn new adaptive ways to cope with this emotion.

As a group therapist, helping people address their anger in healthier ways is something we work on regularly and successfully. In the context of the group / team work, clients are encouraged to express their frustrations and irritations in new ways, so that the old 'stuffing feelings until you blow up' is no longer the first coping tool used.

Appropriately expressed anger is a useful human emotion. Unfortunately, if you are struggling with excessive internal rage & accumulated anger, you can be easily triggered & find yourself out of control. This experience is obviously destructive to others, but you are suffering deeply as well. After lashing out toward loved ones, you are left with feelings of self-loathing & frustration at your inability to control your own emotions. These negative feelings can contribute to more accumulated anger - so the cycle continues. No one wants to live this way. You can choose to bravely explore this vicious cycle of anger. Heal yourself - heal your relationships - heal your life. You can do this!

This is an area that is vital to understand and know how to manage in order to have a healthy, compatible relationship. Not knowing how to reduce anger and handle it can sabotage a couple’s ability to communicate and get along on many levels. Anger unchecked, can destroy relationships and sometimes lead to violence. Over the years I have developed many techniques to help people reduce their anger, and have taught them how to communicate with their partner effectively.

Anger management is all about empowering you with new choices. You learn new ways of thinking so you can respond more calmly to life's disappointment and upsets. You learn new ways of acting so you have options available that keep you from dong things you might later regret. You enjoy the benefit of improved relationships, and knowing that you have transformed old patterns to create a life of greater calm and contentment.

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.

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.
