Anger Management and Counselling in Leduc, AB.

Anger managment is approached from cognive behavioral approach. First I spend a lot of time listening and empathizing with client as to what they are dealing with. Then we discuss how cognition effects emotions and emotions effect behavior. Then the approach is in controlling bodily signals as well as cognition when triggers occur. Solution focused is used in noticing over the weeks how things are getting better and changing. Strenghts and successes are then built on.

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.

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.

Learn to regulate emotions and tap into a sense of peace and clam, even in the midst of life's storms!

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.

Do you find yourself more irritable than you used to be? Or small things seem to set you off and you just can't seem to stop yourself from snapping?

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 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.
