At The Counselling Space, we approach the topic of Anger Management from a wholistic perspective. We believe that all feelings are valid and serve and important purpose for our clients. When connecting with clients who are struggling to cope with overwhelming feelings of anger, we work together to understand the sources of angry feelings, uncover the messages anger might be sending us, and learn strategies for soothing ourselves when anger shows up. Angry can be a scary and lonely experience - at The Counselling Space, we strive to stand beside our clients to understand this often misunderstood feeling.

Anger is a very normal natural reaction to situations that may cause disappointment, hurt, frustration, sadness, confusion, shame or other negative emotions. Yet, for many people anger is an extremely uncomfortable and confusing emotion. Uncontrolled anger can make you feel as though you're at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion. Each individual is unique in their origin and type of anger, so the first step towards anger management is uncovering the secret of your unique anger which will put you on the right road towards developing methods to conguer it.

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. Anger can be communicating something very important about what kind of expectations you have of yourself and others. It may also be an indicator that you are tolerating something that doesn’t feel okay. Sometimes aNiger informs us that we are taking other peoples behavior personally. When we learn to value ourselves, say no and focus on Devine love anger is transformed.

Anger is taboo. So when we get angry there are very few templates available to teach us how to manage it. It can have unimaginable force and scare us. What might it be capable of? The goal is to create safe conditions to explore it and find out what it is telling us. Then we can learn to express it and create conditions where we have ownership.

Anger is a complex emotion because it can occur for a variety of reasons and sometimes it's tough to tell why you feel angry in a given moment. Managing your anger involves understanding not only the situational events that triggers it but also the underlying emotions that end up being expressed as anger. This involves taking a closer look at other feelings (primary emotions) and learning how to cope with them so that they don't present as anger, which is a secondary emotion.

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. Explosive anger typically emerges when people attempt to keep their anger from others, holding it inside until they can no longer contain it. 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.
