Anger Management and Counseling in Morristown, IN.

Anger is an indicator. Much like physical pain lets you know that an injury hasn't healed yet, anger lets you know that something needs your attention. Either something has poked a deep wound that needs to be addressed, or someone has infringed upon one of your boundaries. I can help you learn the underlying cause of your anger, and heal it, as well as learn new and more productive ways to communicate with others. We will address the root cause of the problem, not just the symptom, to achieve life-long results.

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.

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.

My approach to anger management involves learning valuable coping and relaxation skills. However, it also involves learning the root causes of the anger and addressing distortions in thinking. Using Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy I help clients address their beliefs about situations which often cause the feelings and reactions that follow. I use homework, role playing and collaborative treatment goals to help ensure clients make progress and meet their intended objectives.

Anger is always a defense against more vulnerable underlying thoughts and emotional experiences. In addition to teaching you ways to manage your anger when it arises, at LifeCare Counseling Services we will help you learn to better identify, manage, and express to others the vulnerable thoughts and emotions that you experience. When sharing your hurts, disappointments, fears, and worries instead of angry complaints or accusations, others are more likely to respond to you with compassion and understanding instead of angry, defensive comments of their own. In short, you're more likely to get the love, care, and acceptance that you really want, leaving you less bitter and resentful.
