Anger Management and Counseling in LaGrange, GA.

Anger problems usually occur when you have struggled with communication and expressing yourself for a very long time. It’s easy to blame situation or even others but learning how to express yourself in healthy ways and Incorporating activities to get your frustrations out can also help. Let’s get to work! I use EMDR to process the memories where you learned the original behavior. And CBT to make permanent changes.

Bridgette has worked with many individuals on how to handle anger. She understands anger is a normal, healthy emotion, but when explosive, anger can spiral out of control & have serious impact on your relationships. She'll work with you to develop healthy tools to deal with your anger and also expose underlying "triggers" that fuel your anger, allowing you to deal with your anger in a healthy & manageable way and restore your relationships.

Do you find yourself being easily triggered, struggling with managing your anger or having outbursts? Is it affecting your relationships, job, opportunities or everyday life? Let's address the root of anger and dig deep to help you get unstuck. Learn new ways to help you manage your anger so that you can live a more self controlled life. You are not alone!

Anger can get triggered in situations where you feel disrespected, shamed, rejected, powerless, not heard, not valued, or not safe. My approach for helping clients reduce their anger is to identify past experiences that elicit anger, frustration, fear, shame or other upsetting emotions and negative thoughts now, and then to reprocess those memories with EMDR therapy. I have also helped clients understand why they feel they need to hold on to their anger and then work through the blocks to letting the anger go while still helping them find other ways to feel in control, heard, respected or safe. Note: I do not offer Anger Management classes to meet work or court ordered requirements.

Anger is not the problem! Anger is not bad or good, or negative or positive. Like love, sad or happy, anger, is only an emotion - a feeling. Nothing more, nothing less. The thing that gives anger it's bad reputation is what a person sometimes DOES when he/she gets angry. When a person makes poor choices of behavior when angry, they either break the law or destroy relationship - or BOTH. I'll be happy to teach you how you can make better choices of behavior when you feel angry. You may choose a package of eight Group Sessions or you may schedule as few or as many Individual Sessions as you need.

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.
