Anger Management and Counselling in Cardston, AB.

Anger management can be helped in several ways. One is to use Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and integrate CBT with hypnosis. Also, the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) has been very successful. I have helped many people learn to manage their Anger Issues. I also provide my clients with relapse tools and teach them how to access them.

It often feels like Anger arises without warning. Before we know it, we are in the midst of an angry outburst. It doesn't need to be this way! At Menla Psychological Counselling you will learn ways to regain control of your anger, rather than having it control you. The goal of anger management isn't to get rid of anger, it is a valid emotion after all, but rather to stop anger from causing chaos and pain in your life.

Many therapists see anger as a secondary emotion. Underneath is hurt and pain. Perhaps it is injustice and abuse that you suffered. Getting to what is fuelling the anger is an important step in anger management. I will work with you to find safe and appropriate ways to express your feelings without doing damage to your relationships and yourself. We all have strong emotions. It is our awareness of what they are and how to put words to them that makes a difference. Don't delay learning this important skill of emotional regulation that will allow you to have a safe and fulfilling life.

Clients will be invited to explore their personal awareness, understanding and beliefs about anger. They will recognize anger as a natural and protective emotion; learn to monitor and track their experience of anger; distinguish and separate angry feelings from angry behaviour; discover safe and healthy ways to express anger; and enhance their communication, self-care, and mindfulness practices in order to cope more successfully with anger.

Clients can learn to manage their anger by gaining insight into triggers, identifying behavioral patterns, and considering all of the biopsychosocial variables involved. Many people are relieved to hear that they alone are not entirely to blame for outbursts. I help people increase their emotional intelligence, create conditions for successful emotion management, and learn/practice new behaviors.
