Anger Management and Counselling in Thunder Bay, ON.

I help men make sense of and manage their anger. Typically there is so much more to the story than just stressed & irritable. Therapy helps you dip below the surface to reign it in for the long-run. With anger it's like something hits you and away it goes. A run-away train or a room you can't escape no matter how much you want to. It's frustrating to not feel control over it.

I have spent hundreds of hours working with clients who struggle with managing anger/rage.

Based on reports from clients I have worked with, I have found that if clients are committed to their process, most people make significant improvement within 6-12 sessions. Drawing from polyvagal theory, AEDP and mindfulness techniques, clients can learn healthy ways to manage and experience their anger.

By working to identify the root causes of our anger, we can begin to understand them in a more meaningful and productive way, since processing buried emotions, or unexpressed needs can be incredibly healing. Over time, this awareness can also help to transform how we relate or react to ang
