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.

A response to life's events falls upon a continuum from neutral to highly-reactive. At times anger, Gandhi called it "Righteous Indignation," is necessary to respond to injustices or inappropriate behaviours. However, uncontrolled, inappropriate anger is destructive to one's self and others. Mindfulness and Metta (Loving Kindness) meditations are excellent tools to deal with anger. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) also called Tapping, along with skillful use of affirmations can help to cool the fires of anger. The benefits of anger management lead to a regulating of emotions and thus a gaining of peace of mind, positive relationships, career and family security.

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.

It often feels like Anger arises without warning. Before we know it, we are in the midst of an angry outburst. It doesn't need to be this way! At Menla Psychological Counselling you will learn ways to regain control of your anger, rather than having it control you. The goal of anger management isn't to get rid of anger, it is a valid emotion after all, but rather to stop anger from causing chaos and pain in your life.

At Living Well we do not believe in "anger management" alone, as this simply manages symptoms as opposed to finding a cure. There are often very good reasons people are angry, and we believe these reasons need to be attended to for proper treatment to take place. If you choose to work with one of our therapists, the therapy will offer you ways to cope when you're feeling angry, but also resolution to much of the anger you feel. This form of treatment is often far better to see long lasting results.

You'll gain insights into your triggers and learn how to manage them. Imagine feeling calm and connected with the people you love. You deserve this peace. Let's take the first step together.

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.

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.
