Anger Management and Counselling in Clarington, ON.

Anger is a normal, healthy emotion. Many times it's a call for action to make things right.

All emotions provide information about how we are experiencing a particular relationship or event. The intensity of our emotions reflects how important this relationship or event is to us. Anger has become associated with aggression and hurtful behaviours, but in reality, anger is an emotion that motivates us to respond. Sessions focus on developing an understanding of where your anger is originating and how it can be expressed and/or resolved.

I work to teach my clients to both understand the underlying components of anger, and to provide them with strageties to stop it at the very first sign. Understanding what causes the anger is a key component to stopping it. I also look into situational factors such as relationships or work environments that may be contributing to the problem. Spouses, partners, friends, or family members are welcome to join in the process where appropriate, and only if you choose to do so. You will feel more in control, calmer and healthier and happier as a result, and your relationships will improve as well.

Our work will not only change your anger reactions, but will also aid in decreasing the anger feeling itself.

I believe that often times anger is a manifestation of unprocessed or repressed painful emotions. As such, I approach anger in a patient, respectful and inquisitive manner, allowing clients to access parts of themselves that they have disconnected from. I believe that when the emotions underlying anger can be brought to light and processed, then alternative ways of expressing those emotions can be explored. Contact me to book a free consultation.

At New Roots Therapy, we understand anger as part of an overall context. For example, we look to understand what anger is related to, as well as someone's "good reasons" for experiencing anger. Our hope is to take a non-judgmental stance, while also encouraging people to take responsibility for the expression of anger. People are not their emotions; therefore, feeling angry does not necessarily make someone an angry person. We hope to offer people a way of understanding their anger as separate from their identity, in the sense that anger does not define them. As such, people can be active agents, rather than passive recipients, in their experience and expression of anger.

Anger, frustration, rage, and reactivity overall, can make a person feel frustrated and powerless; when we have emotional outbursts of any kind they can feel so all-encompassing and make us feel like we are not in control of feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. In working with clients on their emotions I aim to primarily promote an understanding of why our emotional outbursts occur; once this has been established we begin to work on how to manage, mitigate, or change how these outbursts occur, or why we feel the way that we feel in the first place.

My approach to anger management is non-judgmental. I do not impose the issue of self-control on my clients, because anger is not a primary emotion. My goal, in collaboration with my client, is to uncover emotionally wounding messages from childhood. These are the messages that form the basis of patterns of anger in the present. I am able to expose root causes and triggers through the use of the Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (DNMS). My clients are supported as they discover inner resources with which to overcome past pain and to manage future stressors in healthy ways.
