Anger Management and Counseling in Golden, CO.

Anger can rob you of so much in your life and relationships. You can learn how to take control of your anger so that you have better relationships with others and a more peaceful life. Our approach is to help you recognize what sets your anger off and work through it so that it loses its power. We will also work on heading your anger off at the pass so that it can't rule your life. You will be less irritable, more patient, and free from the loss of control that anger invariably gives you.

Anger can come from a few different things; your boundaries aren't being respected, a catalyzing energy telling you that things need to change, or old wounds from childhood getting touched by current interactions with others. Anger is a signal to you to reclaim your personal power; a fire giving you the fuel you need to create change. I'm here to help you get to the root of the anger and to self-regulate through anger and other difficult emotions, so you can show up as more calm and grounded in your life.

Anger is a lively emotion and I frequently hear "I don't want to feel angry". That's pretty common, it's not a feel good emotion. It is, however, an informative emotion, and part of the human experience. My approach to anger management counseling first explores how anger shows up in your life, what were you taught about anger, how was anger shown to you, and how would you like to be experienced in your relationships. Skill are a fundamental part of anger management including: Relationship skills, communication, thought and behavior modifications, boundaries, mindfulness and relaxation techniques. Anger management counseling is interactive process in session and provides homework to practice.

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.
