It may take someone close to us to let us know that our temper has gotten out of hand. Other times, we may know what it is that's causing us to feel angry, but, don't know how to manage the emotion, let alone the situation. In more unfortunate cases, it can turn into a situation involving authorities. While we all experience anger at one point or another and in some way or another, when it becomes problematic, it can become a real issue. Anger management at Uniquely You is an individualized process that involves finding possible solutions, implementing healthier coping, regulating emotions, and finding deeper meaning and roots to the anger that you are experiencing

Anger is a completely normal, often healthy human emotion. But if it gets beyond your control, it can be very destructive in your work and interpersonal relationships and can drastically devastate the quality of your life. Fortunately, anger can be 'managed' which is very different than 'suppressing' it. Unexpressed anger leads to a host of other problems including high blood pressure. However, when we learn how to 'manage' our anger, we can learn to diminish both the emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes. We can learn to avoid triggers and develop strategies. We can learn how to problem solve, change our thinking and relax our bodies.

: We all have a right to feel and express our anger and yet sometimes anger can alienate us from the things we care about most, such as friends and family. We can also often feel judged because of the way we express our anger and this can make it harder to manage. In my work with individuals who experience anger, I provide a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space to begin to understand anger and learn new ways of expressing it. Reach out today to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Nobody wants to be angry and upset themselves or others. Anger is sometimes about current issues that need to be resolved through a good action plan. Other times it is due to deeper issues that need to be worked through. Anger is often a symptom of previous upsets or issues in our lives that caused us pain in some way. We will process those upsets through discussion and unique exercises created for you as homework or to be completed in session until they are worked through.

Anger is a valid emotion. Anger is activating and can be your biggest advocate. Anger, however, can be scary when it has more control over us than we have over it.

Anger is a natural emotion, and I help you harness it constructively. In anger management, we partner to uncover underlying triggers and reframe negative thought patterns.

Instead of shame, you’ll feel empowered to channel anger productively. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, ensuring you feel supported, not judged.

Anger is a common and useful emotional reaction. However, there are times when anger is excessive or extreme and controls a person to the point that it is hurtful to them, their life, and their loved ones. I work with clients to understand their experience of anger, learn to identify potential triggers and underlying issues, and develop coping skills to manage these issues and emotions. Clients will learn relaxation or calming strategies, how to communicate to reduce angry outbursts, problem solving skills, and how to alter negative thinking which may be contributing to the anger. This often results in clients feeling happier, more relaxed, and having improved relationships.

Perceptions of anger vary based on personal experiences; some of us have experienced it as a destructive force presented through aggression or violence. Whether anger is getting in the way of authentic connection, resolving differences with others, or impacting your overall mental health, understanding it can be a helpful first step in anger therapy, also known as anger management therapy.

Anger management in therapy looks like getting to the root cause of the anger. Often, there are other more vulnerable feelings underneath the anger that need to be spoken about. Once we have an idea of where the anger is coming from, we'll look for ways to help you regulate the emotions. As anger (along with other visceral feelings) is a physical reaction, this can look like developing tools that change your physical state.

Anger is a secondary emotion that is often referred to as a bodyguard emotion. It seconds the primary emotions that are often more vulnerable. Anger has multiple functions but there are times when it does its job too well that instead of communicating unmet needs, it breaks down relationships instead. Our work will focus on building a bridge between how you experience emotions and how you express/communicate them. We will work on recognizing signs, triggers, enablers, and soothers of anger. The goal is always to regulate intensity, communicate the needs behind the emotion, and reduce conflict in personal and professional relationships.

Anger is a common, I'd say necessary function, for it helps us right wrongs, & protect ourselves and others. Like the saying goes, "Good fences make good neighbours", and anger is the energy to make such fences. Sometimes though, anger can seem out of control, or inapropriate. I help you to understand your anger, and to use it constructively for bettering your life, and the lives of others.
