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

Anger is known as a secondary emotion which means there is a primary emotion under the surface of anger therefore it is important to deal with anger but also emotions associated with it. Elizabeth can help you learn tools and skills in order to deal with the feelings of anger as well as behaviours associated with it, such a road rage. Elizabeth can also help you to uncover the primary emotions underneath of your anger to discover what is contributing to it. After processing those primary emotions, clients often find that their anger disolves and they are able to better deal with negative feelings.

An environment to explore anger issues will be provided. In the time you will learn some skills and strategies to help manage and minimize anger situations. More importantly you will learn some of the underlying reasons for your anger and address these issues. Often undealt with emotions and difficult situations comprise a large part of these two areas. You will learn to get rid of long term problem emotions and deal more effectively with tough or unresolvable situations.

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.

We all feel anger. It is how you use that anger that can cause harm to those you love, care about and work with. Anger is a secondary emotion. It is the emotion that people see in those who feel hurt and misunderstood. Anger is also an indication that your boundaries have been crossed. Let me show you how to use your anger appropriately and to uncover some of the beliefs that make anger your go to reaction.

Anger is a healthy and important emotion, which every human being can identify with. Sometimes we act out our anger in ways that are not helpful or loving. Accessing counselling for anger can help you process your feelings, without having to get rid of them. In therapy it can be useful to explore anger, and get to know other emotions that go along with it. As you learn about your anger, it will become easier to act it out in ways that are more loving and better for relationships.

Are you struggling to find coping strategies to deal with your anger? Perhaps your unresolved issues are getting in the way of obtaining that healthy marriage/partnership. Or perhaps your outbursts are becoming unmanageable-and you're willing to work on self-regulation strategies. Forgive yourself and move on-and know that you can gain control over your life.

Anger influences the way in which we respond to and react to situations and people. For some people, anger is highly integrated in their style of interacting and can lead to problems in interpersonal relationships with family, friends, co-workers, etc. Anger does not need to continue to control your interactions. In my practice, I assist clients in understanding their anger and uncovering the emotions beneath (where appropriate). From an interpersonal approach, I work with clients in developing a redefined system for interacting with others and navigating conflict, as well as assist in developing coping strategies that alleviate the anger and associated emotions.

Using a theoretical foundation of social learning and cognitive-behavioural training, he is well-versed in various kinds of formal and informal assessment and solution-focussed approaches. He listens carefully to understand your needs and relies on his extensive experience to help you find solutions.

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 believe that anger can be healthy. Anger is about asserting ourselves and protecting ourselves. I help clients struggling with anger to understand the purpose of anger and how to express it. I start with symptom treatment and teach clients how to regulate their anger. These different tools and strategies help clients manage anger in everyday life. Then I help clients understand where the build of anger comes from so that it does not keep coming back up like it currently is.

I do work with individuals around issues with anger, irritability, and frustration. However, I don't provide "anger management" courses or classes, or structured teaching in this regard. I recognize this can be helpful for some individuals, but prefer to work within the context of psychotherapy to understand and develop personal resources to manage emotional challenges. If you're looking for a structured class or program, I would recommend checking out community resources such as those offered by Catholic Family Services (note - you don't have to be Catholic!)

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.

Tired of just managing your anger? Good! We don't offer anger management, we offer Christian Counselling that empowers you to fix the underlying issues that caused the anger to begin with. So, if you're looking to forever end the cycle of explosions and apologies and long to finally get control of that out of control feeling, we can help! Anger is just too powerful of a force to simply manage.

Anger is a two-edged sword. In one direction it can work for your good, telling you when things do not seem fair or right to you, and then giving you the motivation to do something about it. But in the opposite direction, anger can literally destroy you and those around you. Because this discrimination is not easily achieved, some people end up trying to avoid anger altogether, others express it passively, while yet others turn it outward in explosive, deliberate, or chronic anger. Counselling can help you learn how to express your frustrations in healthy ways and let go of your destructive anger. You can make the needed changes in your life.

Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems—problems at work, in interpersonal relationships, and a reduction in the overall quality of your life. And it can make you feel as though you're at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion. Chances are that if you currently have a problem with anger, you likely already know it. If you find yourself acting in ways that seem out of control and frightening, you need help finding better ways to deal with this emotion. The primary goal of anger management is to help you understand and control this powerful emotion. Simple relaxation tools, such as d....

Anger is a powerful emotion that tells that something needs to change. Anger can be destructive or empowering. Inappropriate expression of anger can disrupt work and relationships. Even though you may have been taught that anger is taboo, bottling up anger is not the answer either. Poorly managed anger can also lead to problems with physical health. Well managed anger can help protect personal boundaries. Often anger masks other underlying feelings that are more painful. Anu helps you to not only manage anger and act assertively, but discover what information anger gives you about what you need or what your anger may be hiding.

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.

I have had extensive training and experience in working with both anger management and domestic violence issues. I have a fundamental understanding of using cognitive behavior therapy, rational emotive therapy and Duluth model fundamentals for working with power and control issues or anger management. I have also had extensive experience in running groups, assessing anger related issues and working through the underlying issues which lead to problematic anger. EMDR has also been found to be effectively useful for working with unresolved emotional issues leading to anger problems.

I utlize both Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour therapy and Distress tolerance in practice when working with clients experiencing anger management issues. It takes work to change our mindset and our thoughts and actions. Anger is a secondary emotion and together we will learn to recognize the underlying feelings that are hiding under your anger.

Anger usually results from a lack of awareness and skill in identifying and connecting with our internal experience and feelings. When this happens emotions get "bottled up" and anger is the inevitable result. I teach strategies and techniques to help clients learn to effectively deal, NOT AVOID, their feelings. Learning identify and accept our internal experience is the key to leading a meaningful and fulfilling life. The benefits are life changing - better relationships, less stress/anxiety and greater success and happiness.

Anger is neither good nor bad. Nobody makes you angry. Do you agree with these facts? Anger is a healthy emotion. Intense, yes, and sometimes seems too strong to handle. In therapy you can learn how to be the master of your anger, experience and express the vulnerable feelings anger sometimes masks and learn to make responsible choices of what you do when you are angry. As a Calgary counsellor I can provide you tools to get your needs met without having to rely solely on anger at work, in relationships, with your self and with others.

I view Anger as a symptom and we need to explore life areas to understand its roots. My approach to Anger in a counselling environment is to help you understand your emotions, reduce the negative impact of your moods, improve your ability to manage life stresses, reduce anxiety and worry and gain control of the key areas in your life. I view Anger as a symptom and we need to explore life areas to understand its roots.

Anger is a positive emotion! Learning to use anger positively can result in less stress, greater happiness and a stronger sense of pride in one’s own responses. Anger motivates and empowers people to act in pursuit of justice, resolution and healing. It is first of all a compliment for those having the motive of caring about what is right. The secret of getting your anger to work for you is to unhook it from the second motive of guaranteeing that future injustices will not happen. Pursuing that guarantee just burns people out! At McNaughton and Associates Counselling, we will help you get the most out of your anger in a healthy manner, and escape damaging consequences.
