Anger Management and Counselling in Port Moody, BC.

Do you feel like anger is taking over your life and destroying you and your relationships? Sadly our culture does not do a very good job of teaching us how to express and manage our emotions in a healthy way. We often mis-identify our emotions, and label all negative emotion as "anger". Let me help you discover what emotions you are really dealing with and offer instruction on how to manage them in a more positive and effective way.

Anger is a necessary emotion that causes difficulties when the individual copes with anger in an inappropriate fashion. Dr. Rochefort believes that the key to successful anger management is to learn skills to manage distorted thinking and negative behaviours. To accomplish this, one must develop effective problem solving, communication, and distress tolerance skills.

It is hard to feel loss of control over your anger. You may find it hard to manage your anger in certain situations or as you are interacting with your families and friends. We help you to better control your anger and manage your triggers through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and other techniques. As part of our therapeutic work, you are able to recognize your triggers and identify negative and unhelpful thought patterns and recorrect your thoughts and behaviour accordingly. You can unlearn inappropriate coping mechanisms and learn more appropriate ones.

I focus on what the underlying cause of your anger is. I can help you identify the emotions that you may not have expressed. You can choose how to express your anger and learn how to more effectively communicate your feelings. Understanding what your triggers are helps you manage the anger so that you can feel more in control and more confident about yourself.

Anger can be a frightening emotion; it can turn into to rage and lead to destructive behavior. Anger management will teach you how to control your anger, communicate your anger in a constructive manner and finally look at the sources of the anger (either from childhood or present situation). The approach I use to help you deal with your anger includes cognitive behavioral therapy, building self-confidence, and improving communication skills. I help to guide through this process of changes always with compassionate and empathy. .

Anger is often an expression of unhealed loss and pain. I will guide you to finding healthy ways of expressing anger and explore with you the underlying issues which may be fuelling the anger. Often we respond in the way we observed others express anger and other emotions. The important thing to know is that there are other options to use in expressing anger and we will find those ways together.

Anger is a normal emotion that is necessary to our survival. However, if anger is controlling you, rather than you controlling it, your anger is likely impacting your relationships and functioning in important parts of your life. Anger management counselling can help you develop techniques for changing the way you think and behave in response to events that trigger you to respond inappropriately. Self-soothing strategies, cognitive-behavioural therapy, and family systems therapy are some interventions that I use to help people manage anger more effectively.

You want to control and manage your anger. You wish to gain a deeper understanding of the root causes of your anger. You'd like to channel your anger to more constructive outlets. Many therapists often simply help their clients to control their anger such as timeout, breathing, etc. Quyn uses EMDR therapy to help you calm your brain and your nervous system so that your fight response does not get activated automatically. You become a calmer and wiser person who thinks with clarity. Quyn also uses hypnotherapy to help you gain a deeper understanding of the root causes of your anger. It can also reset your mind and body. Angry no more! Let your calm and beautiful YOU shine! Visit www.quynle.co

Anger is a strong emotion and when not regulated in a healthy manner, it can impact us in different ways. It can impact the most important relationships in our lives, our work and even how we feel about ourselves. When working with anger, I want my clients to first listen to what anger is trying to tell them. Anger, like any other emotion, has a message for us. It might be trying to tell us something about the pains we have never dealt with, the boundaries in our lives that are being crossed, and the changes that we desire in our lives. Once we learn to your anger and hear it out, we will work on tools to regulate it better and express it constructively without suppressing it.

It is my hope that clients will learn strategies to assist them in more effectively managing emotions of anger and the accompanying negative behaviours. Clients will explore and identify underlying causes of such emotions, as well as situational “triggers”. It is also my hope that clients will develop communication skills that will promote healthy interactions and successful resolutions of conflicts should they occur.

Anger can be all-consuming, it affects our quality of life, and it can damage relationships we care about. When it comes to anger management, I would be most likely to offer support through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and/or Dialectical Behavioural Therapy. These two related therapeutic approaches use different strategies, from challenging your thinking in order to help you feel better to learning more effective ways of interacting with others. I believe in adjusting my approach in order to meet each client where they are at, because no two people struggling with anger management are the same. I will listen carefully to your story and make a treatment plan accordingly.

In anger management, we start with your story: understanding your concerns, what triggers your anger, and how it's impacting you and your loved ones. Often anger affects relationships, work, or your wellbeing in ways that feel out of control. Together we'll build awareness about the patterns and underlying emotions driving your anger. Sometimes it masks hurt, frustration, or feeling unheard. Then we work on practical strategies: recognizing early warning signs, reframing triggering situations, and developing healthier ways to express feelings. Our therapeutic relationship provides the foundation where you bring knowledge of yourself and I bring clinical perspective. You'll learn to respond rather than react, communicate more effectively, and regain control of your emotions.
