Anger Management and Counselling in Kimberley, BC.

Anger is a normal, healthy emotion we feel when something unfair or unjust has occurred. Anger can also distract from deeper, more painful emotions like sadness, guilt or abandonment. Anger can also hurt others when it becomes out of control and is followed by feelings of guilt or shame. You may not believe you have the right to be angry so looking for root causes of the anger is key. Learn to communicate more effectively with others to avoid the buildup of frustrations or resentments which result in angry outbursts. Learn warning signals and practical skills to regulate emotions and respond more skillfully, rather than be reactive. Change is possible. Talking helps.

If a client comes to me with anger management, I would approach them with curiosity and examine the root cause of the anger. Depending on the source of the anger, I would determine what type of approach to use. For example if the anger was caused by a specific event, if the client agrees, we would explore that specific event in detail, as well as practical strategies to manage the existing anger. Approaches I use are Alderian therapy or EFT for treatment.
