Anger Management and Counselling in West Kelowna, BC.

We get angry, all of us! It is an emotion that we cannot avoid. However, we must learn to manage our anger related behaviours. They are not reflexive! They are often without careful consideration but they are not reflexive. However, we can learn to be angry, frustrated or upset respectfully, intelligently and productively. We can learn a little emotional regulation. It takes time and practice but most of all it requires that we accept that we have no right to such bad behaviour, that we are all equal in our humanity and that whatever the offense, two wrong don't make a right.

Anger can often feel so overwhelming that it causes you to do things you later regret. Not knowing what came over you, there are many unanswered questions: why do I keep doing this? why can't I stop myself? Sometimes, alcohol, substances, or other addictive behaviours lead to this anger, making it more difficult to control. As an addiction counsellor, I help clients overcome addictions leading to anger issues so they can regain a sense of control, rebuild relationships, and gain clarity about how to move forward.
