Anger Management and Counseling in Malta, 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.

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.

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.

Dysfunctional anger often goes hand-in-hand with other problems, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, or alcohol problems. Therapy can help treat those conditions while also providing strategies for managing the anger that goes along with them. Several large analyses of the published research suggest that overall, approximately 75% of people receiving anger management therapy improved as a result. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) helps to identify unhelpful or negative thought patterns and change inaccurate beliefs. Plan on examining the triggers that set you off and exploring how your experiences of anger are helpful or harmful, both in the short-term and in the long-

I follow a specific 12-week program for those coming for Anger Management. While the curriculum followed is more structured, the conversation can flow organically and address all the topics covered so that each person gets the most out of the time spent working on their anger. The curriculum allows for exploration of anger triggers, becoming more aware of family dynamics, as well as giving tools to manage anger. My work outside of the specific curriculum can help aid in this as well to find additional tools that could help find what works for the individual seeking this treatment.
