Anger Management and Counseling in Black Forest, CO.

I have worked with many people who have difficulties managing their anger. It is important for you to understand that your anger is a signal that something is not right in your circumstances or your interpretation of those circumstances. I can help you not only successfully manage your anger on a day-to-day basis, but can help you get rid of "long term anger," which makes it much harder to deal with situations as they happen. I have helped everybody from teenagers to prison inmates successfully manage their anger and learn that anger does not have to be destructive.

Anger is often viewed as "bad" or negative. In an attempt to hide or bury anger, people often develop unhealthy ways of attempting to manage this emotion. When internalized, anger grows and metastasizes into resentment, hatred, bitterness, resulting in depression and a sense of hopelessness. When externalized in a destructive manner, anger can be expressed as abuse, toward self or others. The purpose of anger management is not to deny or suppress anger, as it is a natural part of the human experience. Please allow me to help you navigate toward identifying and expressing anger in a healthy, productive, non-destructive manner.

Anger management counseling can help to identify stressors and learn the steps to stay calm in the face of anger. The goal is to handle tense situations in more constructive and positive ways by reducing the emotional and physical arousal that anger can cause. It will provide the tools to take back your life and resolve the triggers that result in unplanned anger reactions.

Anger can be hurtful and devastating, not only to those around you but to you as well. Anger is actually a healthy and needed emotion. When you are not getting your basic needs for survival met you will feel hurt and frustrated. This is anger. It's actually a necessary feeling but the results can be devastating...unless you get the help you need. Wes Wilson can help you work through your inner hurts and frustrations. You can learn how to address your needs in constructive and effective ways. The anger feelings can be understood finally and your real needs can be met. The old anger feelings can be turned into very effective actions for relief, success and even respect from others.

My approach to anger management includes and goes beyond teaching and acquisition of new skills to control the intensity and manifestation of anger. Understanding the meaning and purpose of the anger and the unacknowledged or unrecognized expectations and interpretations that contribute to the rise of anger are also a focus of the therapy. In my experience, anger is often protective against thoughts, feelings, and/or meanings that somehow seem worse than anger itself.
