Anger Management and Counselling in Sun Peaks, BC.

All of us have been angry at times, and know that this doesn't feel very good. Using an approach of CBT/DBT/mindfulness combination, I help you to explore the driving forces behind what's getting you angry and keeping you angry. Exploring how this is impacting interpersonal relationships and how to enhance communication and set boundaries can be a start to regaining some control over your anger.

A response to life's events falls upon a continuum from neutral to highly-reactive. At times anger, Gandhi called it "Righteous Indignation," is necessary to respond to injustices or inappropriate behaviours. However, uncontrolled, inappropriate anger is destructive to one's self and others. Mindfulness and Metta (Loving Kindness) meditations are excellent tools to deal with anger. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) also called Tapping, along with skillful use of affirmations can help to cool the fires of anger. The benefits of anger management lead to a regulating of emotions and thus a gaining of peace of mind, positive relationships, career and family security.

Anger is a normal and healthy emotion that needs to occur in a controlled manner. Yes, we all get mad but it is the action and words that need special attention. When it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems. These problems occur at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. I will help you create strategies and goals to mange your anger.

Anger can be a reaction to a range of experiences, from past traumas to present-day stressors, and EMDR can help to desensitize and reprocess these experiences, reducing the intensity of the emotional response. Through the use of bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, EMDR can help to process the distressing memories and emotions, leading to increased emotional regulation and a greater sense of control over one's emotional response. By addressing the underlying emotional triggers, EMDR can help to alleviate symptoms of anger and promote more adaptive coping strategies.

Anger is an emotion that can dominate how we automatically react to situations and frustrations when it feels we are not in control. Sometimes anger is overwhelming for the person feeling the anger and for the others around them and can negatively impact relationships and life goals. I explore with clients the root of the anger and then collaboratively develop strategies and alternative intentional approaches to improve effective emotional processing.

In my anger management therapy, I blend Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness, and Trauma-Informed Care to help individuals understand, control, and transform their anger. Through IFS, we explore the internal emotional landscape, recognizing various 'parts' that contribute to anger, while EMDR helps in processing and reducing the impact of past traumas. Mindfulness techniques develop self-awareness and emotional regulation. I also focus on identifying triggers and underlying emotions, teaching skills like relaxation methods, effective communication, and problem-solving. This comprehensive approach fosters emotional regulation, impro

Anger from time to time is a normal healthy emotion. When that anger turns into rage or verbal/physical aggression, besides being unhealthy, is a signal of a problem requiring help. Unhealthy anger expression can lead to disease development like heart disease, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure etc. This anger/rage is abusive to yourself and others and can separate you from family, friends, fellow workers. For those wtih generalized anger, and who want to change. we offer specific clinical approaches such as talk therapy and EFT coupled with education and monitoring of progress to meet your goals.

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.
