Anger Management and Counselling in Grande Prairie, AB.

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 anger keeps getting the better of you, it costs you relationships, work, and peace of mind. It is possible to change that. I use cognitive behaviour therapy, mindfulness meditation, hypnotherapy, and other proven methods to bring your overall arousal level down so you can respond instead of react. Let us bring some calm back into your life. I have been a psychologist since 1986, and I know how to help. I am based in Calgary and see clients across Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick by secure video.

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.

Keystone provides counseling in anger management and emotional regulation. Clients will explore the source of their anger or their child's anger and develop skills to express it in a healthy manner. Parents will learn how to manage their child's anger in a productive way and learn strategies to facilitate healthy emotional development in their children. Anger management for adults focuses on expressing their anger in a healthy manner, rather than just learning to control their anger. As with all counseling at Keystone Child and Family Therapy, an emphasis is placed on developing close, enjoyable, and connected family relationships.

Maybe you're not an angry person, maybe you're just exhausted, overwhelmed and overstimulated. You've been carrying too much, giving too much, and running on empty for too long. Now you find yourself snapping at your partner, getting irritated with your kids, feeling easily frustrated, or becoming short-tempered over things that appear silly or unnecessary. The aftermath of that is guilt and shame, and not liking the person you've become. Well, I see the person underneath the anger. In our work together, we'll look beyond the reaction to understand what's leaving you so drained, what your anger is trying to communicate, and how you can respond differently without constantly feeling bad
