Anger Management and Counseling in Kingwood, TX.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I provide individual psychotherapy for anger management. Anger is normal emotion that everyone experiences. It becomes a problem when one expresses anger inappropriately or one lacks the proficiency to express any emotions but anger. I use Humanistic and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to help my clients understand their anger, improve their emotional experience, and express their emotions in healthy ways. A healthy emotional life is the cornerstone of living a full and successful life.

Whatever the issue, road rage, workplace frustration, interpersonal relationships, let me help you work through your anger. I utilize a combination of Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The goal is to help you first recognize your anger as it manifests in your body, and then as you relax think through what your triggers are and how to keep your emotions from getting out of control. I look forward to hearing for you.

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 can be an emotion which is frightening and repulsive for some and addictively powerful for others. The power to be afraid of or which to gain control can be both seductive and empowering. Together we will explore the meanings of anger to you and your family of origin. Together you will be able to identify warning signs and triggers, and gain skills to help you express your emotions without shame and guilt taking you hostage.

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.

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.

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

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.
