Anger Management and Counselling in Gibbons, AB.

While anger can often temporarily solve our problems, very quickly it can begin to separate us from what we actually desire. This might look like a rift in our relationships, frustration at work, difficulty keeping friends and loved ones, feeling distant from those we care about, or even being misunderstood. We might then want to get rid of our anger, however, this often is not helpful. Anger exists for a reason, and sometimes we need some assistance in figuring this out. By working together we can often sort out our anger and gain understanding and focus for our future.

The first step to changing anger is becoming increasingly aware of it. Through awareness, we will begin to find ways to interrupt the cycle of anger and move you towards emotional regulation that will help you. It will help to improve your relationship with others and even yourself. You will find a sense of relief in being able to remain more calm, more of the time.

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 commonly misunderstood emotion. It is often masking other emotions or is trying to tell you something useful but in a destructive way. I will help you to understand where your anger is rooted and address it by: teaching ways to react differently, providing coping skills, guiding you in in experiencing other emotions, processing any traumas that might be related, addressing related relationship concerns, or by using other approaches that fit your unique situation and needs.

Managing anger means managing your need to have things your way even if your way seems reasonable to you. It means questioning your sense of entitlement to having your way. Anger can be a strong communication to others that what one is angry about really matters. As an initial response it can be a powerful impetus to change but unless one takes some kind of action following the anger it will only serve to reinforce a sense of powerlessness. Anger can be a way to impose ones will. Sometimes people learn that this works in the short term but in the long term it never really does.

Anger can be a powerful messenger for change, signalling unmet needs or deeper emotions like hurt, powerlessness, injustice, or fear. Let’s slow down and explore this together to understand what is driving your anger and what it is truly telling you. In our sessions, I will provide tools and techniques to help you manage anger in healthy ways. More importantly, we will uncover the underlying feelings or situations that trigger your anger and explore what changes may be needed. My goal is to help you gain control, find peace, and express yourself more positively while fostering self-awareness and emotional balance.

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.

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.

Anger can be a healthy reaction to upsetting events, but when expressed aggressively it is very destructive. You can learn how to calm your anger and channel it in a healthy way. Anxiety is often a contributor to angry outbursts. When you are tense, worried, insecure and perfectionistic anger easily surfaces. Addressing the underlying causes of anger enables you to disengage from destructive patterns and improve your relationships.

Many of us have not been taught the tools and strategies that are needed to manage anger in a healthy and appropriate manner. While anger is a natural emotion, which can serve as a helpful signal that something is "just not right," it is often handled in a poor manner. I help people to see the maladaptive patterns and strategies they have been using to express their anger, and then replace these with healthier ones. We also work to unload built up frustration, resentment, and hurt, which often reaches a "breaking point" and needs to be resolved so that it does not come out as uncontrolled anger. By doing this, clients can reach a more peaceful place, and will come to see anger in a new way.

Anger is often a signal—not just a reaction. I help clients understand what’s happening underneath their anger, whether it stems from overwhelm, unmet needs, frustration, or long-standing relational dynamics. My approach focuses on emotional regulation, communication, and pattern recognition, so that anger doesn’t sabotage connection or lead to guilt. You won’t be told to “calm down”—you’ll learn how to respond differently, with clarity and self-respect. Therapy is a place to shift from reaction to choice, and from tension to direction.

Anger is often misunderstood and equated with aggression. In fact, anger is a highly positive emotion which helps to define our boundaries and affirm our inner strengths. Therapy can make anger your friend by helping you to notice it, understand it and express it in a positive way. Most people need to be more angry rather than less. Anger cannot be controlled by bottling it up.

Our therapists are trained in strategies to help you effectively manage your anger and other difficult emotions, as well as improve communication skills for healthy relationships. Some of the strategies we use to help with anger management are: mindfulness, cognitive-behavioural therapy and solution focused approaches. Learn to regulate emotions and tap into a sense of peace and clam, even in the midst of life's storms!

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.

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.

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.

Our anger can be a sentry, a protector and a wise indicator that our boundaries have been transgressed or that something vitally important to us is threatened. It can also be a raging tyrant, a short fuse, a simmering internalisation that off-gases through passive aggression, or a childish tantrum. Becoming intimate with our anger is synonymous with becoming intimidate with our power. In anger therapy, we will work to understand the unique way your anger process happens through somatic awareness, mindfulness and emotional intimacy. We will look at your history with anger, your family lineage, and you will learn tools to channel this fire in ways that support rather than hinder your life.
