Anger Management and Counselling in Leduc, AB.

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.

Anger is an emotion that can be very destructive to yourself and others. There is, however, a healthy side of anger if it is used for good. Anger can be communicating something very important about what kind of expectations you have of yourself and others. It may also be an indicator that you are tolerating something that doesn’t feel okay. Sometimes aNiger informs us that we are taking other peoples behavior personally. When we learn to value ourselves, say no and focus on Devine love anger is transformed.

What's your relationship with anger like? Is it the only emotion that's allowed out or maybe it's one that feels too unsafe, like you can't trust yourself to express anger, so you suppress and bottle it up, causing you to feel worse. Maybe you don't want to feel angry, but it feels justified. Maybe you turn that anger inwards towards yourself. You may be really self-critical. Anger can cause a lot of suffering to us and those around us, so it can be important to work on changing the relationship we have with it. I can work with you to better understand your anger and other emotions and to change how you interact with them, so it causes you and those around you less suffering.

Anger is not wrong in itself, and if we can take a closer look at what is happening in your life and thoughts, I can get you the help you need to manage this emotion and how it's being expressed. Go ahead and take that first step-- you'll see all kinds of benefits in your relationships and in your health! Give me a call and let's start working on this together.

Anger is a complex emotion because it can occur for a variety of reasons and sometimes it's tough to tell why you feel angry in a given moment. Managing your anger involves understanding not only the situational events that triggers it but also the underlying emotions that end up being expressed as anger. This involves taking a closer look at other feelings (primary emotions) and learning how to cope with them so that they don't present as anger, which is a secondary emotion.

Anger is a natural emotional response that occurs when something that we value gets squashed or stepped on by the world around us. You may be experiencing a great deal of anger without fully understanding the thing that you value that is being squashed. I will work with you to discover understanding of your anger and to uncover the ways in which anger has become problematic in your life. I will walk with you on the path to overcoming the destructive impact of anger, and to resolve the situations which lead to unhelpful anger.

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.

With extensive experience in anger management, I provide evidence-based therapy exclusively via secure online sessions. Together, we explore triggers, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthier ways to respond to challenging situations. By applying EMDR, DBT, and emotion-centered strategies, I help you create tools that decrease impulsive reactions and support stronger, more connected relationships—all through a virtual platform that mirrors the benefits of face-to-face therapy.

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.

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. Shift Psychological can help the anger management process by identifying and treating the origins of the anger – the messages about self and the world that cause it. Then, using our unique approach we remove them. This results in an absence of reaction and an appropriate level of calm.
