Anger Management and Counselling in Beiseker, AB.

I offer counselling for anger. Did you know that anger is a primal emotion, meaning that it is an automatic "reaction" to situations, located in the hind brain along with functions such as breathing and heart rate? Humans use anger as an unconscious defence mechanism when they feel threatened, which indicates that it is an emotion actually based in fear. It is important to understand this in order to be able to empathize with these people, making them feel safe enough to let their guard down and reveal what they are so afraid of. The anger then fades away and I am able to teach them how to rewire their brains in order to "respond" to stressful situations rather than react without thinking.

I have worked with several men who have struggled with managing their anger reactions. While I don't work exclusively with men on anger or related topics, I do specialize in helping men feel heard and understood and then overcome their struggles with anger, violence, self-control, depression from societal or family pressures, financial difficulties, porn addiction, and more.

I have experience in anger management with both mandated and voluntary clients. I have found through my experience that anger is not merely and emotion to be expressed but is also an emotion to be listened to. That means anger is not something to be suppressed nor is it something to be released without control. Instead, it is an emotion that exists for a purpose and healing includes understanding why it is there and what it means.

Anger IS different for women and just trying to manage it rarely works. But, you can discover a different path. Come and learn how to break through the patterns of silence, uncover your repressed heart longings, explore your deepest needs and stand up into all God has for your life. If you're done with quick fixes and bandaids are no longer enough, then come and discover a better way to make love work for you!

Anger is a normal human emotion that can assist us in protecting ourselves and creating boundaries with others. When misused, however, it can also be dstructive and alienating. Anger management will assist you to identify anger triggers and to develop strategies for calming yourself and expressing frustration without damaging yourself or others in the process. The aim of therapy together is to regain control over one's anger in order to choose when, how, and with whom to be appropriately angry.

Anger management counseling can help to identify stressors and learn the steps to stay calm in the face of anger. The goal is to handle tense situations in more constructive and positive ways by reducing the emotional and physical arousal that anger can cause. It will provide the tools to take back your life and resolve the triggers that result in unplanned anger reactions.
