Anger Management and Counselling in St Catharines, ON.

Anger, while a typical human emotion, can rapidly escalate into a problem when not under control. Therapy can assist you in regulating your emotions and actions, as well as in developing coping mechanisms to assist you in managing situations that trigger your rage. You can learn to settle disagreements more constructively and repair relationships damaged by anger by looking at the thoughts that cause them. You can learn relaxation techniques to assist you in calming down and relaxing your body and mind.

We all get angry sometimes as anger is part of our core emotions. If you find yourself struggling with managing your anger, which is impacting your relationships and affecting your life, you likely have a lot of emotion to work through. Seeking help and speaking to a therapist can help you process your emotions and allow you to find better ways to address your emotions and navigate challenging situations.

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.

Many of us grew up in families where we were told to rate our emotions as positive or negative. Positive emotions were love, joy, and compassion. Negative emotions were sadness, fear, anger, and rage. Unfortunately, anger got placed in the harmful emotion category for many of us, which is not where it belongs.

Psychotherapy is a space where you can learn the positive attributes of anger and how to express it positively and safely. Let's get together and explore some of these healthier options for this vital emotion!

Working with emotions is a central feature of my therapy practice. I believe that all emotions serve a purpose and that none are essentially bad. However, that said, what we do with our emotions matters very much and learning to recognize, experience, and accept feelings is an important part of learning how to express them effectively. Understanding that anger is often connected to other foundational emotions such as fear or shame is an important part of the process.

In counseling for anger and anger management, my approach is grounded in understanding the underlying triggers and patterns of anger while providing practical strategies for managing intense emotions constructively. Through a combination of cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and communication skills training, clients learn to identify and regulate their anger responses effectively. By fostering self-awareness and empathy, clients gain insight into the root causes of their anger, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and improve their communication skills to express their needs and boundaries assertively. Ultimately, counseling for anger equips clients with the tools and resources to navigate challenging situations with greater calm, resilience, and interpersonal effecti

Anger is a normal emotion, but it becomes a problem when one is unable to express her or his anger in a balanced way. When it gets out of control, it turns destructive and affects work, family and other relationships. Mastora works with the individual to find more effective ways to solve problems, develop coping strategies and express their anger in a balanced and positive way.

Anger is the most common coping mechanism that is often misunderstood. Suppressing or avoiding anxiety inevitably leads to being overwhelmed and sometimes emotionally exploding. Instead of suppressing anger, a person should learn how to embrace it, be curious about it, feel it, understand it, and eventually channel it in a healthy and constructive manner. Anger comes from a sense of being misunderstood, ignored or left unsupported and the therapy should acknowledge and explore these areas.
