Anger Management and Counselling in Forest Lawn, AB.

Can my anger outbursts be treated with medication? The question should probably not be if it can be treated, but whether it should be treated with medication. Sometimes the anger is a symptom of a disorder, and the disorder needs to be treated. Highly driven men and women sometimes ‘act out’ their depression and have anger outbursts; clearly, they do not need anger management; they need medication for their depression. The elderly may also have anger outburst that are a symptom of a disorder, and then a pharmacological intervention is justified. Let Dr. Mervin (Paraklesis Counselling) come alongside you to help you with anger management and to discern whether pharmacotherapy is appropriate.

There are many reasons why anger shows up. It's important to get to the bottom of why it is arising. I can work on behavioural strategies, but in order to create lasting change, the origin of the pain and hurt needs to be healed. This doesn't mean reliving your trauma, but instead realizing where your inner child needs comfort and compassion. I can help walk you through that process.

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.

I offer counselling for anger. Did you know that anger is a primal emotion, meaning that it is an automatic "reaction" to situations, located in the hind brain along with functions such as breathing and heart rate? Humans use anger as an unconscious defence mechanism when they feel threatened, which indicates that it is an emotion actually based in fear. It is important to understand this in order to be able to empathize with these people, making them feel safe enough to let their guard down and reveal what they are so afraid of. The anger then fades away and I am able to teach them how to rewire their brains in order to "respond" to stressful situations rather than react without thinking.

Control Anger before it controls you. The goal of anger management is to recognized your emotional feelings and physical arousal that caused anger and find better ways to deal with this emotion.

Do you feel like no one cares about how you feel? Are you feeling like you are "losing it," "fused," "pressured," "angry," "frustrated," "sad," and "stressed?" Are you angry with your partner, spouse, girlfriend or wife? I will help by talking with you about issues that really concern you. Although anger is a primal emotion, frustration, injustice, unfairness, stress, unhealthy behaviours and other issues usually trigger it. By working with me, you will be able to identify “real” issues that are causing you to feel “angry.” I will work with you on how to best address these underlying issues casing anger. Having effective communication skills is vital in dealing with these issues.

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.

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.

There are often several contributing factors to anger. Examples of these factors include residual or chronic distress. Sometimes, you have low thresholds for tolerating cognitive and affective changes. Other behavioural manifestations of rage and trauma include being punitive, lacking concentration, becoming entangled with family and friends, maintaining inappropriate interpersonal boundaries – perhaps between work and home – and withdrawing from work and social-related situations. As you begin to identify the leading causes of anger, we can support you through management approaches ranging from psychanalytic to functional to cognitive behavioural. Don't hesitate to contact us for customized options to address your anger management needs.

Anger management is something I approach with active listening and compassion. Anger typically stems from unmet expectations and part of my approach is working with a client to figure out what those unmet expectations are. From there, reconstructing negative thoughts, behaviours, and feelings, combined with problem solving and relaxation techniques can help individuals manage their anger.

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.

We use a Dialectical Behavioral approach to therapy in treating anger and other strong emotions. Anger often comes as a result of feeling invalidated. People often struggle with feelings of anger after being misunderstood or dismissed. Our therapist can teach you skills to manage your emotions and behaviors. We offer E-services to Minnesota and Indiana; and in-office services to the Hinckley, MN and Dultuh, MN areas.

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.

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.

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 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 experience in anger management with both mandated and voluntary clients. I have found through my experience that anger is not merely and emotion to be expressed but is also an emotion to be listened to. That means anger is not something to be suppressed nor is it something to be released without control. Instead, it is an emotion that exists for a purpose and healing includes understanding why it is there and what it means.

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 different for women and just trying to manage it rarely works. But, you can discover a different path. Come and learn how to break through the patterns of silence, uncover your repressed heart longings, explore your deepest needs and stand up into all God has for your life. If you're done with quick fixes and bandaids are no longer enough, then come and discover a better way to make love work for you!

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.

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.
