Anger Management and Counseling in Odessa, TX.

Lets work together and uncover the underlying issues that brings out the anger. Anger is an emotion but it is not the main emotion that fuels the reaction. Hurt, shame, guilt, fear and frustration are just a few main or primary emotions that need to be dealt with. When an individual does not properly heal or deal with the hurtful emotions anger is usually the reaction. Lets work together and I can help guide you through your new journey of having a more pleasant reaction when you would otherwise have a very strong negative reaction. You can do this, you can make this better. Remember you have already taken the first step.

As a culture, we do not do well with healthy expressions of anger. Often we are raised to suppress it and then we have limited practice at dealing with big emotion. There is a spectrum of healthy aggression- to keep us safe and to maintain boundaries- and rage- our body's strategy for safety. Anger management is about applying the right "dosing" to maintain boundaries yet not fracture relationships or suffer other losses. I am able to help you learn to regulate your body to be able to apply the appropriate "dose" to be effective and not destructive.

Very often we look at emotions as good or bad, right or wrong. Anger is a natural part of our emotional experience of life. We experience challenges and frustrations in our daily lives and sometimes it can be difficult to work through the experience with the intensity of anger we may be experiencing. Learning to understand what the anger is about and why it is as intense as it is can help us to move into a new relationship with our anger which allows us to experience it the way we want without guilt or shame.

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.
