Anger management problems emerge from a social system where both genders are taught that expression of anger is inappropriate. Anger is one of seven basic human emotions and is in no way dangerous, unfeminine, or taboo.

My approach is to model and practice graded expression of anger, and to help people modify the point(s) of view from which anger is seen to emerge.

Using a combination of somatic regulation, EMDR, mindfulness, narrative therapy, clients learn to respond rather than react, improving communication and relationships.

Managing anger means managing your need to have things your way even if your way seems reasonable to you. It means questioning your sense of entitlement to having your way. Anger can be a strong communication to others that what one is angry about really matters. As an initial response it can be a powerful impetus to change but unless one takes some kind of action following the anger it will only serve to reinforce a sense of powerlessness. Anger can be a way to impose ones will. Sometimes people learn that this works in the short term but in the long term it never really does.

Anger is an emotion that can be very destructive to yourself and others. There is, however, a healthy side of anger if it is used for good.
