Wow 0-90 in seconds. Yes this is how anger affects many people. Are there tools yes. Do you want to learn them? Let's do it. What does anger look like to you? Do you want to change? Can you change? Are you ready to learn the process of living a life without feeling great one min and the next ready to rip another's head off? If the answer is yes then we need to talk. Life is so much better when we can live without being bitter, resentful, full of anguish and vengeance. Maybe it's just your kids where they never do any chores and your tired of screaming and yelling. Maybe a partner cheated on you. Maybe your mother or father is accusing you of all sorts of things.

It feels urgent! When you’re angry, or dealing with someone else’s anger, you want something to help right now. So, that’s where we’re going to start. Together we will look at what anger is and what it isn't, identify those areas that make you angry, look at your description of anger, your responses and then develop tools that help you respond to anger in a constructive way. Let me help you see anger and its results in a whole new way. I can help.

I employ an approach to anger management that is based on an integration of cognitive-behavioural therapy and mindfulness--an approach that is validated by research as being effective. Clients will learn how to cope more constructively with their frustration, defuse anger by managing their self-talk and interpretations, and develop skills for more assertive communication and conflict resolution.

What Clients are saying: "You were able to put my mind at ease even though I was very nervous about the first session. I didnt feel judged and was able to learn how to express my feelings better so that I wouldnt get mad as easy. I didnt realize that I had so many expectations on myself and was setting myself to get mad at everyone else. Thanks for teaching me about boundaries and how to love myself and other people with limits. Im not as stressed out and dont get mad like I used to."

In order to effectively manage anger it is important to understand the purpose of it. Anger is always when you believe a person or situation has done something unfair to you. This feeling or unfairness or resentment piles up and comes out in inappropriate ways. I will assist you in resolving these feelings so you can move forward and enjoy life and relationships in a new and different way. I will also help you understand the familiar pattern that resulted in the build up of pain, hurt and anger and together we will find a new and more comfortable way to communicate and interact with others.

Anger can take control of your life, and your reactions to anger can jeopardise your personal and professional life. I work with males and females clients that are mandated by the court to take Anger Management Therapy, The treatment plan allows you to identify the triggers, recognise what behavioural patterns needs altering and how to transform unhealthy anger and healthy anger.

Managing our anger is the ultimate goal, yet we first will hear your experience and point of view. Using ONLINE tools like video conferencing, email and text supports, I will support you in expressing your feelings, and will either talk or use art making tools, or employ both in this important first step. Next we will look at how you want to show up in the world, how do you want to be in your life? Working backwards, we develop a plan to help you move forward and start on your healing path. You will learn Mindfulness,CBT, and clinically proven, anger management strategies to assist you in your daily life. Let's move through this together.

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.

In many situations, it is most helpful to find the wound under the anger, the place where the person took the hit. Then, we can attend to the wound. We see what needs help in that place and what it might need to begin healing instead of festering. Many times the same place is getting hit over and over, without any resolution. It is also helpful to have some effective coping strategies for what to do to deal with anger when it comes. Working from both ends, anger begins to subside and leaves room for forward movement and new life experiences.

Anger is not an emotion....did you now that?? It came as a surprise to me, since my whole life I just assumed it was. However, instead, anger is a type of communication we choose to use when we are hurt or feel that we are being treated unfairly or taken advantage of. Now this is good news! Methods of communication are a lot easier to change than are the feelings we encounter - although even feelings can be changed. Don't let your ANGER communication style- cramp your relationships or prevent you from getting want you need out of life and from your loved ones. If you want to change, help is a close as a phone call away. Marriage-Works, is focused on helping you find the peace you want

Anger mangement is primarily based on Cogntitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), though is integrated with other approches considering the needs, age and situation of the individual. Art and Play therapy may be used with children, (as well as Art Therapy for adults) in the understanding, expression and processing of anger in intent to reduce the experience of anger and its expression. Positive coping and management are promoted and families (parents+kids) in conflict can expect to explore ideas / models of conflict reduction. In this way, parents of kids should expect to be involved in learnining how to deal with anger and how to assit their children in learning improved ways of anger management
