Anger Management and Counseling in Lafayette, CO.

Anger in and of itself is not a probelm. The emotion is there to tell you something about how an event affects you. Sometimes our anger gets out of control: perhaps you are in jeopardy of losing a job or relationship because of it. If that's the case and you are dealing with unmanageable anger, I can work with you to uncover why you are experiencing disruptive anger. I will equip you with practical skills which, when used can result in decreased anger and associated unwanted behaviors. If appropriate, I can use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to assist in your emotion regulation. There is hope!

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.

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.

Everyone gets angry; at another driver, at your partner, at your kids. This issue is not that you get angry, it's how you handle that anger.Too often we deal with our anger by yelling, hitting or withholding. I will help you look at the root of your anger, help you reframe it and give you positive skills to help you cope with the anger you feel. I will help you identify your "buttons" and explore a different way to respond when those "buttons are pushed"
