Anger Management and Counseling in Ste. Genevieve, MO.

Everyone gets angry at times, but some people struggle with aggression that can interfere with their ability to have healthy relationships. Anger can stem from many things but domestic violence, substance abuse and trauma are the most common. I use a cognitive-behavioral approach to help clients understand what is fueling their anger and then learn positive coping skills to manage those emotions.

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.

First, let me say that Anger is a HEALTHY emotion. The problem is - that many times the ways the anger is expressed is not healthy. That is why the goal of therapy is not to suppress the anger, but rather to learn ways to express it in a healthy manner. Once that is done, the final goal is to resolve the underlying reason for the anger, thus eliminating the need for that particular expression of anger.
