Anger Management and Counseling in Locust, NC.

Anger destroys personal peace, love between couples/families and even health. I offer a unique approach to anger control that is easy to grasp, simple to implement and brings quick results. It succeeds where conventional anger control approaches frequently fail. I have perfected this approach over many years. It can be used for individuals, couples, families and with parent/child issues. If you have tried other forms of anger control with limited success, please give me a call.

We must gain insight into the sources of the anger issues and attempt to process and heal these. Also I collaborate with my clients on effective strategies to contain the anger and refrain from acting on it. Approaches to calm the body and mind are also important. A common strategy is to help the client to recognize the minute the anger starts and finding customized ways to quickly veer away so as not to allow the feeling to go into action.

My approach to anger management is to help the person decrease their hightened emotional and psychological arousal in order to deal with the anger. Together, we find the root of the anger, set distinct guidelines in dealing with the anger and develop a solid plan to effectively manage the anger. In each step of managing the anger there are key elements to educate the person and find a solution. Everyone gets angry but it is how we deal with this natural emotion.

Anger is often a misunderstood emotion and often looked at as more negative than positive. In applying cognitive behavioral approaches to developing a healthy use and control of anger, therapy will support you in not suppressing anger but recognizing the difference between healthy and unhealthy anger and regaining your mastery over this complex emotion. Often this leads to overall better self understanding and increased confidence as well as improved personal and professional relationships.

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.
