Anger Management and Counseling in Pahokee, FL.

Are you quick to get angry? Do you try to keep in under control until you can’t hold it anymore and then you explode? Does your anger interfere with you achieving your goals in life? Anger is an important feeling that tells us that something is wronged. In therapy you will learn to listen to your anger instead of vacillating between shutting it down and reacting too strongly to it. Your anger is not your enemy! I will help you to use your anger as a guide, understand your anger and get the important message underneath it and then act in alternative and more effective ways to get your needs met.

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 is normal, and usually healthy, human emotion. If it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead problems in your daily life. It will affect your work, your personal relationships, and most aspects of your life. It can make you feel unpredictable and fear that you do not know how to tame this powerful emotion. There is help. Identifying that there is an issue with power and control and learning coping mechanisms can be beneficial and lead you to a more satisfying life.

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.

I help clients identify the triggering emotion that is behind the anger. Using a cognitive approach and an Anger Management guide from SAMHSA clients are given different assignments to help them understand triggers, and learn different coping skills to use to manager the anger. One technique used is the anger meter where clients are asked to monitor their anger on a scale of 1 to 10. Counseling for anger helps a person establish or repair broken relationships, and can prevent someone from losing a job or a relationship.

There is no need to stay trapped in a place of anger indefinitely. Why are you angry? What is the anger masking? It is a symptom of another issue going on in your life? Anger is a natural emotion we all have but can successfully be put into balance with other emotions with the right treatment plan. Stop letting your anger push away the people you love and step back into life.

Many times anger is the only acceptable emotion, especially for men. Uncovering the feelings, emotions and frustrations that are behind that anger can completely change the dynamic. Let's work to understand what that anger is about and heal it. Decreasing anger can completely change your relationships and increase a sense of calmness and peace in your life. It is never too late to have a happy life.

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.

There is no way to be human and emotionally honest without also at times feeling and/or acting annoyed, irritated, upset, angry, resentful or hostile or hateful. However, few have mastered how to understand these feelings and separate them non-judgmentally from talk or behavior that may be hurtful or destructive to oneself or to others. My approach considers both in-depth insight and understanding as well as ways to express negative or socially unacceptable feelings in productive, diplomatic and tactful ways that help one get what one wants - and resolve conflicts with others in the best possible ways.

Why do we get angry? Are we able to recognize our anger rather than deny it? Once we become aware of our anger and the problems it is creating in our life and in our relationships what do we do about it?These are the questions we help you answer and work through here at Gateway. Remember anger is a secondary emotion, meaning some other emotion is behind the anger. This emotion is often in the subconscious level of your life. Don't spend your life mad at the world and leave ruined relationships in your wake. Anger left alone only gets worse. The sooner you reach out for help the better.
