Anger Management and Counselling in Grande Prairie, AB.

Ever heard of the fight-flight-freeze reflex? This occurs when an organism mobilizes to neutralize or move away from a perceived threat. Circulation is constricted, heart rate increases, and muscles become tense and ready to act. The logical, social and more evolved part of the brain shuts down while the primitive regions become more active. We can't think straight because our bodies say it's action time. Sound familiar? If your anger is a problem, understanding this basic brain science is one of the first steps in learning how to manage it more effectively. Together we will explore your triggers and you will learn new, healthier ways of dealing with this reflex.

Anger is a normal, natural emotion that may range in intensity. Anger is usually a healthy response to things that irritate or even threaten us in some way. It may also be a response that occurs with other feelings such as sadness, grief, or even shame. Anger can affect more than just our thoughts; it can impair our actions at a nervous system level. Unhelpful strategies for dealing with strong emotion can impact the likelihood of carrying out good, and preferred, intentions and instead leave use with hurtful, and sometimes detrimental, outcomes. Lisa can help you learn to address strong emotion at a mind-body level.

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.

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.

Have you ever been told that there is no 'bad' emotion? Each emotion we experience is neither good nor bad. Some emotions make us feel better than others. Some emotions drive us to do certain behaviors. The emotion itself is harmless. The emotion is there to tell us something about a situation. However, what we do with an emotion is what makes the difference. If you are struggling with anger, I can teach you techniques to help you take control of your anger so that it no longer has control over you.
