Anger Management and Counseling in Barker, NY.

We all experience anger at different levels, and just like any other emotion, you can learn to manage anger: with some support and guidance in seeing emotions as they connect to the situation, your thoughts, and your behaviors.

Feelings of such uncontrollable anger may look different for each person. Some people may act aggressive and have short tempers and others may seeth quietly. Anger can cause disruptions in a person’s life and have negative influences on relationships and day to day life. Everyone gets angry from time to time but people experiencing uncontrollable anger may recognize that those around them say they have anger issues, they feel angry most days, they feel aggressive when angry.

Having anger is not a problem. The problem is how one deals with the feeling of anger. What does one do when one is angry? Is the anger realistic or is it not? What are the events associated with the anger? One can learn to manage one's anger effectively through the use of effective anger management skills. Is one angry because one has communication problems and cannot express oneself assertively? Is one angry because of persistent unfairness that one has experienced? Come and let us explore the source of your anger and help you manage it effectively.

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.

If your anger is slipping out of your control and you find yourself saying or doing things that damage your reputation or your relationships, hurt those around you, or otherwise consistently put you on the outside of society's expectations for behavior, you need help to find tools or strategies to change this and I would be happy to help.
