Anger Management and Counselling in Campbell River, BC.

Anger is generally masking other feelings beneath it. By exploring our family dynamics and history we can come to an understanding of the underlying feelings that trigger our anger and the thought processes and inner narrative we've built around it. I use an MCBT approach to facilitate this process. Enabling people time to think about consequences and their emotional triggers before reacting is part of my process.

I will support you in acknowledging, accepting and expressing your feelings in a safe way. Together, let's develop a plan to help you move forward and start on your healing path. Through Mindfulness, CBT, and clinically proven, anger management strategies, we will support you through this process. Let's move through this together. **Please note that working with us will not provide a course certification, but a letter will be provided for court purposes if required.**

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.

Anger is a natural, healthy, human emotion which can serve as a warning sign to alert us to something in our lives.
