Anger Management and Counselling in Streetsville, ON.

Anger is typically expressed negatively which results in strain for every individual involved in a situation. It can drive an individual to cause injury and pain (both emotionally and physically) to others. When this occurs it is an indicator that seeking help may be effective in gaining control of their emotions. The most effective way to help those with anger management issues is with cognitive behavioral therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy raises awareness and concerns of the individual’s cognition and corresponding behaviors and how they impact the environment and people around them. Resultantly, the individual is provided with insight on how to change their perspective and how to b

Anger is probably the most misunderstood of all emotions. Anger is a primary energy arising from the biological imperative for survival and self defence. This energy gets twisted and mangled as we grow up in a society where anger is often expressed violently or completely held back and hidden. We rarely learn healthy and satisfying means to express this natural and powerful force. I don't believe anger should be managed as much as to relieve the history of inhibition through mind body connection, awakening of frozen defensive responses in a safe and mutually respectful environment and teaching the body to return to an optimum state for healthy defence and self-advocating as necessary.

I provide strategies using Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) for emotional regulation to manage anger, or other overwhelming emotions such as irritability, frustration, impulsivity, and lea to difficulty communicating and expressing feelings, which can be difficult to cope with. These issues can cause problems in relationships and work. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation to discuss how this can help you.

Sometimes we hurt or harm others with our words and our actions. I recognize what it takes to speak up about these experiences, and I listen in compassionate ways that help you become more of who you want to be. There is very little you can say that will shock me or that I will judge. My aim is to help you have the kinds of caring and respectful relationships you want to have, and to be the kind of person you want to be.

Anger is a primary feeling that signals when we perceive that our boundaries are crossed. It is a normal, healthy response that cannot be avoided in relationships. Like a compass, it gives us direction in relating to those around us. For best outcomes, it is essential to learn to deal with our anger using productive and mindful strategies. The healthy expression of anger is not hurtful, aggressive or repressed. Rather, it can be used to deal with conflict and set the parameters for negotiating in healthy ways, making room for everyone’s needs.

Therapy for anger management can be helpful for both your close relationships and the workplace. Therapy integrates strategies to regulate emotion, tolerate distress, and express frustrations in a manner that is respectful. If your anger difficulties occur exclusively within the context of a romantic relationship, couple’s therapy or therapy with a couple’s therapist can be particularly helpful. New Leaf Psychology Centre also offers anger management therapy for children and youth.

Anger is a normal and healthy experience and is part of our fight/flight defensive response to protect ourselves. However, it can become damaging to one's physical, mental and emotional health if it becomes chronic and create an attitude of bitterness, resentment, and even hatred for self and others. Pent up or hidden anger can be harmful to the self and others, although acting out of anger is also most often harmful.

Understanding the roots of your anger can go a long way to empowering you to respond in ways that best suit the situation, leaving you feeling satisfied and content, rather than reacting in ways that feel the most relieving in that moment but leave you regretting your behavior, long after the event. I can help you learn to express your feelings more appropriately and take back the power that anger has had over you in the past.

Anger can be a sensation of needing to release pent up energy. The release of this energy may certainly be beneficial in the moment, however damaging in the long run. In the end, it can lead to irreparable damage to relationships and a person's fractured self esteem. Working together, it is my aim to help you imagine what a different future could look like.

In today’s cultural environment we have been taught to avoid anger as it is undesirable and needs to be tamed or suppressed. I believe that anger is an emotion that needs to be understood. Anger is a signal that something in our lives calls for attention. I won’t attempt to suppress or eradicate your anger. Instead, we'll lean into understanding its origins, your triggers, and the messages it has for you.

I support clients to regulate their emotions by helping them understand emotions from a positive perspective and encourage them to explore their primary and secondary emotions and the reasons (thoughts and feelings) behind them. I teach solution focused methods and coping skills that help the client learn how to regulate their emotions efficiently.

I believe that often times anger is a manifestation of unprocessed or repressed painful emotions. As such, I approach anger in a patient, respectful and inquisitive manner, allowing clients to access parts of themselves that they have disconnected from. I believe that when the emotions underlying anger can be brought to light and processed, then alternative ways of expressing those emotions can be explored. Contact me to book a free consultation.

Anger can arise from a number of variables. Working together, we will understand your window of tolerance, what coping techniques you are currently using and how we can bring changes. Some techniques used for this are CBT, SFBT, and somatic approaches. My clients have shared that they started noticing improvements in 5-6 weeks and leave the sessions feeling motivated.

Nobody wants to be angry and upset themselves or others. Anger is sometimes about current issues that need to be resolved through a good action plan. Other times it is due to deeper issues that need to be worked through. Anger is often a symptom of previous upsets or issues in our lives that caused us pain in some way. We will process those upsets through discussion and unique exercises created for you as homework or to be completed in session until they are worked through.

Anger is not necessary an unhealthy emotion. It can give us energy, clarity, and move us toward much needed action. However, when anger becomes habitual it has the power to overtake us and derail our jobs, our relationships, and ultimately, our peace of mind. Anger management therapy is a process which involves self-discovery, emotional processing, stabilizing techniques, and often deep discussions regarding a client's family history and historical processing styles. Yes, anger can be all-consuming, but there is always hope for people who are willing to fight back when their emotions threaten to boil over and consume them.

Anger is a normal and healthy emotion, neither good nor bad, when it’s present. Like any emotion, it conveys a message, telling you that a situation is upsetting, unjust, or threatening. However when anger is built up and disproportionate to a situation it is called rage. That means old anger that is unresolved along with a new trigger. Sometimes you may feel like it’s out of your hands and there’s little you can do to tame the beast. But you have more control over your anger than you think. With insight about the real reasons for your anger and these anger management tools, you can learn to express your emotions without hurting others and keep your temper from hijacking your life.

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. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

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.

Together, we will gain insight into the root of your anger and the purpose that it serves in your life. We will empower you to learn more about yourself when you experience anger and decide how you choose to respond to this emotion. I employ an integrative approach in my practice working alongside clients within an empathetic and supportive dynamic.

I help you to get in touch with the current and past situations in your life that are causing undue anger, and to explore and express negative feelings in the safe environment of a therapeutic relationship. You will develop an understanding of what lies behind the anger and learn strategies to help you be assertive, expressing anger in a more appropriate way.

Anger is one of the healthy and normal emotions. What can cause problems is unhealthy expression of anger. Clients benefit from working on strategies for managing the triggers that lead to reactive outbursts of anger. The next step is to find healthy outlets for this anger- and there are many. Anger can be a cover for other feelings. Benefit is achieved from working on these underlying feelings and expressing them in healthy ways, within the safe compassionate space provided by the therapist. Reactive patterns have been learned in our early years. It is not helpful to judge them. It takes practice to learn new ways of handling anger.

Anger management is a series of preventative and reactionary steps that help us regulate our emotions. While anger management is about executing these skills, the successful implementation depends on a foundational understanding of what anger is and how it operates in one’s life. Without understanding angers unique roots for each individual, anger management techniques become especially challenging to implement. My approach to anger management involves establishing a foundational understanding of anger by examining personal underlying fears and needs. With this foundation set, the individual is able to integrate a personal understanding of anger consistently with strategies and techniques.

Have you ever felt like you needed to hold a piece of yourself back, fearing that people won't accept you? Do you feel you can’t be your true and authentic self around others? Are you constantly saying yes to things you want to say no to? Wouldn’t you rather feel like you’re in control? Others are more worried about how you act when you're angry than about why you're angry.

Feelings of anger can sometimes be more accessible and available to us in moments of hurt, disappointment or frustration. At times anger can be triggered by an event or situation and invite you to say or do things that do not align with your preferred way of being. In our work together, we can explore the origins of anger, how it impacts and influences you and how you might want to be in a relationship with anger moving forward.
