Anger Management and Counseling in Yanceyville, NC.

I see people who believe that they or their loved one has anger issues. I work with my clients to help them find the source of their anger and then develop the ability to manage their emotions. This is done through the use of coping skills and mindfulness training. I teach people that emotions have energy and if the energy isn't appropriately expressed it will come out in a way that will hurt the client and those around him or her.

Struggling with excessive anger is lonely. By the time most people are willing to admit that the problem is out of control, they have deeply hurt the people closest to them. Relationships have ended, or may be about to end. The cost of doing nothing is much to high. Many practitioners focus on teaching strategies and tools for managing anger reactions. In addition to those things, I also recognize that anger is a secondary emotion.

Clients need to learn how to identify their emotions, as well as how to express, release, manage, and control their anger or angry feelings. Through the use of role plays, sand tray, and other therapeutic worksheets, handouts, exercises, games, and activities, clients will learn that anger is not a negative feeling, but an emotion that indicates something is wrong and changes need to be made.

All too often anger moves us to do acts we would almost never do. The basis of anger has been found to be fear. Fear of being out of control, fear of not knowing what to do, fear of an unwanted past coming back. Working with individuals, couples, and families, I help them find the behavioral resources to deal with the fear and thereby reduce the anger. The reduction of the anger through processes learned in our therapy, gives the client the power to control reactions to events. That power is the means to manage any anger, present and in the future.

Anger is a very complex and yet common emotion. What is sad about anger is that it hurts everyone and becomes part of the pattern of interaction that couples/families get stuck on. My goal in therapy is to uncover the emotions that underlie anger helping the individual give a different meaning to his/her experiences and ease the anger. In this process, the partner and/or family members can understand more about what causes this anger and a new connection is created leading to new relational patterns based on closeness and connection.
