Anger Management and Counselling in Orangeville, ON.

Self management of strong emotions including anger can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves and, in turn, more compassion for the human experience in all its manifestations. Through the therapeutic process in which one feels safe, freedom to explore powerful feelings, and constructive ways of managing frustration can be developed so that anxious, stressful or volatile reactions can be channeled for the well-being of the self and others.

There are many things that can spark anger and it can be difficult to get a hold when anger takes over. It can also be difficult to understand why certain situations may lead us to feel angry and propel us to act in ways that may not be helpful to ourselves or to the relationships we are part of. Within therapy, I will help you to develop greater insight into how and why you experience anger and together, we will learn about the patterns that anger is connected to. I will also help you to develop tools to more safely connect with anger so that you can experience more fulfilling relationships with yourself and others.

Through pattern exploration of experiences with anger, we can process and navigate the emotion and work together to manage it.
