Anger Management and Counselling in Castlegar, BC.

Many people have an uneasy relationship with anger. I use Narrative and Internal Family Systems approaches to working through anger issues, where clients are helped to understand that anger is part of the normal human range of emotions, and serves a unique purpose in our overall mental and emotional health. Together, we explore the functional role anger plays in their lives, and how a better relationship with anger can be fostered. Clients learn that turning toward and understanding their anger, rather than fighting or denying it, gives them more, not less power and control.

Do you ever feeling like a pot of water, simmering away, or close to boiling over? Like your feelings are all balled up inside you and you just don't know how to get them out? Frightened of the intensity and the potential damage they could cause, to yourself, your loved ones, or your lifestyle? Learning to regulate your emotions is possible when you have a safe place to express yourself and your needs, and the support to learn new perspectives and strategies to manage your anger in a constructive way.

Anger is a powerful emotion that often gets a bad reputation. If you are struggling with anger, one of the most important things to do is to hear the messages anger has for you. I have worked with anger with many clients and truly believe that understanding the deeper layers underneath anger is imperative. I will work with you to process anger and help you uncover what is going on deeper.

You did it again. You lost your cool and you blew up. And this time, the consequences aren’t going away. 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 – overdrive. 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.
