Anger Management and Counselling in Alexander, MB.

My approach to counseling for anger management emphasizes understanding the root causes of anger and developing healthy coping strategies to manage it constructively. Through a combination of cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and communication skills training, clients learn to recognize triggers, regulate emotions, and cultivate greater self-awareness, leading to improved relationships, emotional regulation, and overall well-being.

Anger management is an opportunity to learn healthy ways to deal with emotions and by doing so, can improve relationships and prevent further harm. By learning to identify triggers (things that bring about reaction), and how to deal with them as they surface, can prevent the problematic behavior. Healthy boundaries and respectful communication are necessary for healthy relationships. As we discuss these areas, people will also learn how to recognize when they begin to feel angry and how to take steps toward de-escalating rather than reach the point of explosion. Taking care of self and balancing life is also a part of managing emotions.

Anger often stems from feeling so many emotions all at once. You lose a sense of control. You go from 0 to 100 in a blink of an eye. By getting angry you’re attempting to regain control that’s presumed lost. But instead, you’re full of guilt and shame. Feeling angry and reacting in anger, is simply exhausting. I’ll help you learn how to regain control, in a healthy way.

Anger can often feel so overwhelming that it causes you to do things you later regret. Not knowing what came over you, there are many unanswered questions: why do I keep doing this? why can't I stop myself? Sometimes, alcohol, substances, or other addictive behaviours lead to this anger, making it more difficult to control. As an addiction counsellor, I help clients overcome addictions leading to anger issues so they can regain a sense of control, rebuild relationships, and gain clarity about how to move forward. If you are unsure where to start, send me a message and I can help. If I'm not the right fit, I can connect you to the right support so you can start gaining back control, today.
