Mark Odland, MA, LMFT, MDIV

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist / Certified EMDR Therapist / Experienced Christian Counselor

Available for Online Therapy

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.

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.

Jamie Smiertelny, M.S.W, LCSW

Counselor

In 80530 - Nearby to Thornton.

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.

Everyone gets angry; at another driver, at your partner, at your kids.

I will help you look at the root of your anger, help you reframe it and give you positive skills to help you cope with the anger you feel. I will help you identify your "buttons" and explore a different way to respond when those "buttons are pushed"

Skill are a fundamental part of anger management including: Relationship skills, communication, thought and behavior modifications, boundaries, mindfulness and relaxation techniques.

Anger is an outward manifestation of underlying emotions; such as sadness, loneliness, shame, sorrow, grief, confusion, indecision, disempowerment, frustration, etc. By helping you get clear about your underlying emotions you become more in control of what emotional behaviors you communicate to others, especially those you love. This is not a long therapy process, it’s a brief clarification of self-exploration, getting clear on what’s going on within you and finding ways to share these emotions safely with others.
