Anger Management and Counselling in Discovery Ridge, Calgary, AB.

We feel anger because we feel that something is not fair, something is not working out the way we thought it should, our boundaries have been crossed, or we feel we have been treated badly, or missed out. Anger can be frustrating if you don't know how to address the underlying issue. I specialize in helping those whose anger is related to social anxiety, isolation, bullying, harassment or lack of important social skills.

Anger isn't just a feeling, but it involves the way we think and how our body responds. You will learn more about what situations and thoughts activate anger, what other emotions may be involved when you feel angry, and working with calming your body when anger is activated. You can expect to feel more aware of and in control of your anger even after a few sessions together. Going even deeper, we can explore more about the key experiences that activate your anger and learn to heal from old hurt that continues flaring up as anger in the here and now.

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 is a normal healthy human emotion. When people allow it to get out of control it can turn destructive, it can lead to problems at work, personal relationships, and the overall quality of life. I like to think of anger using the metaphore of a hammer. You can do a lot of things with a hammer. You can build things and you can tear things apart. The hammer is just a tool just like anger can be a tool. Anger isn't the problem, it's what you do with it. I help people learn the skills they need to use their anger and the underlying hurt and feelings of injustice to make positive choices that lead to positive relationships and experiences.

Anger is a secondary emotion that is often referred to as a bodyguard emotion. It seconds the primary emotions that are often more vulnerable. Anger has multiple functions but there are times when it does its job too well that instead of communicating unmet needs, it breaks down relationships instead. Our work will focus on building a bridge between how you experience emotions and how you express/communicate them. We will work on recognizing signs, triggers, enablers, and soothers of anger. The goal is always to regulate intensity, communicate the needs behind the emotion, and reduce conflict in personal and professional relationships.

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.

Anger can be a healthy response to negative treatment or events. We’ve all gotten angry and it can help to communicate to others that we’re not okay with something. In fact, not having the ability to feel anger is a whole other issue. However, for some people, uncontrollable, overly frequent or inappropriate expressions of anger can damage relationships, career success or more. Shift Psychological can help the anger management process by identifying and treating the origins of the anger – the messages about self and the world that cause it. Then, using our unique approach we remove them. This results in an absence of reaction and an appropriate level of calm.

Anger can be a powerful and often misunderstood emotion, and learning to navigate it safely can improve relationships, communication, and overall well-being. In my trauma-informed approach to anger management, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore the underlying causes of your anger, including past experiences or unresolved trauma. Using person-centered, somatic, and evidence-based techniques, we work together to recognize triggers, develop healthy coping strategies, and express emotions constructively. Clients leave feeling more in control, self-aware, and empowered to respond to life’s challenges with calm, clarity, and resilience.

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.

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 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.

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.

Anger gets a bad wrap, but it's actually an important and vital emotion. It is a signal, a protector, it has roots. Anger often shows up as loud, messy or explosive. Underneath is usually pain, fear, powerlessness, betrayal or unmet needs that never had a soft place to exist. We don't suppress anger, we get curious about it. Let's unpack, understand and learn to work with it not against it.. Together.

When we can learn to investigate anger, build acceptance and tolerance for uncomfortable feelings, and find ways to soothe ourselves, we can manage anger in ways that are supportive of our relationships and supportive of ourselves. Learning anger management can involve building skills in multiple areas including communication, needs identification, distress tolerance, and/or emotional regulation.

My experience working as a Forensic Therapist for more than 6 years provided me with an intimate understanding of anger in addition to a variety of tools to support those who are struggling to control their negative feelings. I work to both help others uncover and address the roots of their anger in addition to providing them with various tools that can be utilized to help them manage their emotions more effectively.

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.

Anger often stems from feeling so many emotions all at once. You lose a sense of control. You go from 0 to 100 in a blink of an eye. By getting angry you’re attempting to regain control that’s presumed lost. But instead, you’re full of guilt and shame. Feeling angry and reacting in anger, is simply exhausting. I’ll help you learn how to regain control, in a healthy way.
