Anger Management and Counselling in Thorsby, AB.

Anger is a basic, normal emotion. When it begins to take control and interfere in various aspects of life; however, such as relationships, work, and overall health can can lead to destruction and decrease one's quality of living. I help individuals work through intense and ongoing feelings of anger - by helping individuals understand the root of their anger, identify triggers, and learn to integrate effective strategies they can reclaim aspects of their life and feel happier.

You did it again. You lost your cool and you blew up. And this time, the consequences are serious. Your job is at risk, your family is hurt, or your partner has finally said, “this is it.” But for some reason, you just can’t seem to stop it. One minute you’re fine, then BOOM – 0 to 100. Know this: there is a path to change. Using evidence-based and cutting-edge techniques, I can help you: cool down from intense stress, communicate with others in a way that inspires both love AND respect, catch anger-flare-ups (before they happen), and have healthy outlets for when they do. Together let's keep your relationships, career, and emotions in harmony. There is an answer to anger.

Uncontrolled anger is no fun. Surging adrenaline, tunnel vision and words that leave our mouths faster than you can control. What’s worse is that afterwards, anger most often follows a cycle of guilt or shame. We may then be labelled as an angry person, creating a war within. You may be surprised to learn that anger most often comes from old pain and its cure doesn’t involve willpower or white knuckling in ‘managing it.’ You don’t calm down an angry dog by yelling at it—you approach it slowly and kindly. That’s what we do together, unpacking anger to its roots so that your system can calm down, lengthening your fuse and reminding you that you’re doing your best.

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.
