Anger Management and Counselling in Beddington, AB.

I have had extensive training and experience in working with both anger management and domestic violence issues. I have a fundamental understanding of using cognitive behavior therapy, rational emotive therapy and Duluth model fundamentals for working with power and control issues or anger management. I have also had extensive experience in running groups, assessing anger related issues and working through the underlying issues which lead to problematic anger. EMDR has also been found to be effectively useful for working with unresolved emotional issues leading to anger problems.

Anger management is primarily about recognizing and learning about ourselves and how we deal with our world. Learning the many, many ways how anger impacts the important people in our lives in negative ways, and realizing how serious the consequences can be; can help to motivate us to develop strategies and better ways of dealing with our frustration and inner pain -- ways that won't alienate the people we love.

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.

Tired of just managing your anger? Good! We don't offer anger management, we offer Christian Counselling that empowers you to fix the underlying issues that caused the anger to begin with. So, if you're looking to forever end the cycle of explosions and apologies and long to finally get control of that out of control feeling, we can help! Anger is just too powerful of a force to simply manage.

I approach the problem of anger differently from most therapists. Instead of struggling to fight against and manage anger, I encourage people to examine why anger is there and how it protects him or her so he or she can choose to do something different through the tools and strategies developed in sessions. Anger, like all strong emotions, is telling us something. If we can understand it, then it will lose its power over us. This frees us up to make different decisions about how we react with those around us that can be more aligned with who we want to be with those closest to us. This values-driven approach guides behaviour change long-term.

My therapy approach for anger management is designed to help you understand and control your emotions more effectively. By using evidence-based techniques such as CBT and mindfulness practices, I guide you in identifying triggers, developing healthier responses, and building coping strategies. Together we will work on transforming anger into a constructive force, improving your relationships, reducing stress, and enhancing your overall well-being. My goal is to empower you with the tools to manage anger in a way that promotes positive change and personal growth.

Anger is the outward expression of internal pain. Often, it is easier to be angry than to feel painful emotions such as sadness, loss, and grief. However, working through the underlying foundations of anger is not easy. By recognizing and understanding the feelings driving your anger, we can help you resolve your anger issues and support positive change in your life.

Anger can be an interesting reaction because often times there are other emotions lingering just under the surface. By learning to identify and express other emotions, as well as working on building a skill set to counteract impulsivity, healthy coping mechanisms can be put in the place of bad habits, giving clients a chance to observe how they have more control than they ever thought possible.

I love working with clients who are struggling to manage their anger. What I see over and over again are clients who are dealing with high levels of stress, sleepless nights, and difficult situations at home where they are unable to balance their self-care with their responsibilities and needs. Whether you've gotten into legal troubles, or just recognize the need for support, I am happy to work towards understanding the unique factors that are contributing to what you are feeling and begin to help you slowly ease yourself in a new direction.

Anger can often feel like an untamed force within, disrupting your peace and straining your connections with those closest to you. In your sessions with me, we'll dive deep into the core of your anger, uncovering its roots and transforming it into a tool for positive growth. I'll guide you in gaining insights into your emotional triggers and help you learn effective and practical emotional regulation techniques. Our journey will be about more than just controlling your anger; it will be about reshaping it into a constructive part of your life that enhances your relationships and fosters a sense of deep peace and fulfillment.

Healthy, adaptive anger establishes safe boundaries and prevents one from being violated. Unhealthy, maladaptive anger is an unregulated emotion that can lead to rage and potentially sever your connection with others. During our counselling sessions you will learn the differences between adaptive and maladaptive anger and will engage in skill-building practices that both keep you safe as well as connected in your relationships.

It may look like anger or anger outbursts or aggressive behavior. However, exploring what is underneath your anger can be extremely helpful in understanding where your anger comes from. Is it shame, sadness, guilt or something else? In working with anger, it is important to know that it is okay to express anger in a healthy way without harming yourself and others.
