Anger Management and Counselling in Clarke's Beach, NL.

Anger management treatment is particularly helpful for those who feel angry much of the time and tend to either 'bottle up' those feelings or express them in an inappropriate fashion. Do You: have frequent conflicts with friends and/or family members; exhibit oppositional behavior at school and/or work; have difficulty with authority figures (i.e., teachers, coaches; employers, etc.) feel easily provoked; often feel angry; tend to “bottle up” your feelings; have difficulty staying calm when agitated; tend to act before thinking; have frequent anger outbursts; have difficulty expressing their feeling

Everyone gets angry. It is a natural emotion that makes up your personality. However there may be times when your anger becomes very difficult to control and it has negative consequences on individuals, families, and work environments. Learning how to consciously and unconsciously express anger is an important part of anger management. With counselling, Lesley aims to help individuals in St. John's identify triggers and replace negative behaviors with positive and manageable behaviors. Learning the difference between aggression and assertiveness is key within anger management.

Anger is an important emotion. It deserves attention. When it becomes hard to control it can be quite upsetting for individuals and those around them. I work with clients to determine the root of the anger and employ strategies to better manage anger. I strive to help clients understand their anger, the triggers and how to deescalate, leading to better emotional control.
