Anger Management and Counseling in Galway, NY.

I provide individual psychotherapy for anger management. Anger is normal emotion that everyone experiences. It becomes a problem when one expresses anger inappropriately or one lacks the proficiency to express any emotions but anger. I use Humanistic and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to help my clients understand their anger, improve their emotional experience, and express their emotions in healthy ways. A healthy emotional life is the cornerstone of living a full and successful life.

“Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” Anger is a normal and adaptive response humans feel, but often is expressed in ways that hurt us and damage our relationships. When working with clients we will work to understand the emotions that impact your expression of anger and change this from destructive to constructive. This process will help you to better understand yourself, your values and live a life where you do not fear your anger,

Problems with anger are quite common now a days. Anger is one of our most common reasons for referral to Serenity Life.

Anger is one of our fundamental emotions, part of the basic machinery of our mind and personality. In some ways it is a useful tool that helps to motivate and energize us in seeking fairness and justice in the world around us. But this powerful hold-over from our primal history can also be enormously destructive if we lose control of it. 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.

Understanding what triggers anger and reaction is a first step to managing anger. Working through past experiences can help identify triggers and patterns of reaction. Being more aware of these triggers could lead to less impulsive behaviors and reactions. I use an evidenced based curriculum to help folks struggling with anger and have seen great results.
