Anger Management and Counseling in Frederick, CO.

Anger is a natural response to many situations in life that cause feelings of frustration. If you are experiencing anger that persists after situations have passed or become easily irritated in circumstances that would not usually warrant anger, then counseling may be right for you. Sometimes we are unable to process the emotions that cause our anger, and we lack the tools to improve our responses to the circumstances that trigger our anger. By talking about these feelings, Jamie Smiertelny can assist in the understanding of the reasons behind them and help you work toward better communication and responses to events without anger.

Anger isn’t a problem to control, it’s a signal to understand. Emotions are information, and anger is a powerful signifier that something is not sitting right with you. Together, we'll trace anger to its roots in boundary violations, unmet needs, and protective survival responses in your life. Through somatic awareness and mindful regulation, you’ll learn to use anger as clear information rather than chaos, expressing it in ways that build integrity and connection instead of guilt or shame.

In my experience as an EMDR therapist, I pay close attention to the links between past and present. I’ve seen time and time again how unhealed emotional wounds resurface and come out sideways. While anger management can provide helpful strategies, they don’t get to the heart of the issue. Often, anger is what we see on the surface, but the real problem is what’s underneath the anger. Negative beliefs like “I’m helpless,” “I’m out of control,” and “I’m a failure,” start to bubble up, and anger comes to the rescue. It can get us in trouble, but at least it gets the blood pumping. With research-proven EMDR therapy, I help men heal anger at its source so it doesn’t have to be managed.
