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.

I provide individual psychotherapy for anger management. Anger is normal emotion that everyone experiences. It becomes a problem when one expresses anger inappropriately or one lacks the proficiency to express any emotions but anger. I use Humanistic and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to help my clients understand their anger, improve their emotional experience, and express their emotions in healthy ways. A healthy emotional life is the cornerstone of living a full and successful life.

One of the myths of anger is that if I am angry, I am bad or weak. The fact is that everyone gets angry. It is learning how to manage anger that is the key. I have the tools for this. I have significant experience helping individuals with anger management issues. If it is only a matter of time until your anger related issues get you in trouble or have already damaged you and your relationships, than the time is now to learn the life long tools that will prevent this harm from you and your loved ones.

Anger management is more like, managing our feelings and thoughts productively in order to make effective behavioral choices. In therapy, I help people recognize a pattern of behaviors, like getting stuck on a rail road track. Once on it, they can't get off until they have exploded in some since of the word. My therapy provides steps to take where each person has available choices and responsibility for those choices once taken. I provide encouragement and support, the individual provides their strengths. Initially, working together, managing feelings and thoughts, then making effective choices becomes easier until I am no longer part of the process, and the person is no longer stuck.
