Anger Management and Counselling in East Gwillimbury, ON.

Have you ever felt like you needed to hold a piece of yourself back, fearing that people won't accept you? Do you feel you can’t be your true and authentic self around others? Are you constantly saying yes to things you want to say no to? Wouldn’t you rather feel like you’re in control? Others are more worried about how you act when you're angry than about why you're angry.

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. Schedule a free consultation to see if we are a good fit for therapy.

Anger is something that gets the best of all of us at one point or another. And sometimes it feels so heavy that we learn to react on it instantaneously, which may hurt ourselves or others around us. My goals are to help you to manage your anger reaction by learning how to channel it through positive and productive endeavors, as well as to explore the history of your feelings of anger to learn where they began. Our work will not only change your anger reactions, but will also aid in decreasing the anger feeling itself.

Anger is a natural response to threat or having ones boundaries crossed - it's okay to feel anger, and times can be very useful emotion!

There are many things that can spark anger and it can be difficult to get a hold when anger takes over. It can also be difficult to understand why certain situations may lead us to feel angry and propel us to act in ways that may not be helpful to ourselves or to the relationships we are part of. Within therapy, I will help you to develop greater insight into how and why you experience anger and together, we will learn about the patterns that anger is connected to.

Anger is a powerful emotion that, when not controlled or understood, can get in the way of maintaining and building the relationships that are important to us in our lives. So often under those all-encompassing feelings of anger are other feelings that have been buried - perhaps deeper feelings of sadness. Working on issues of anger in therapy is about building an understanding of what our deeper issues are and of working toward coping with our feelings, resolving our issues, and finding more healthy ways to express ourselves in the world.

DBT can be a game changer for clients wanting to regulate difficult emotions. A comprehensive and integrated model that uses skills training techniques to support individuals in achieving emotion regulation, stress tolerance, achieving mindful practices and improving interpersonal relationships. DBT has initially been proven in the treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), clients at risk of suicidality, and para-suicide behaviours. However, this treatment can also help clients with anxiety, depression, and other presentations that formed roots from invalidating environments.

Anger management counseling can help to identify stressors and learn the steps to stay calm in the face of anger. The goal is to handle tense situations in more constructive and positive ways by reducing the emotional and physical arousal that anger can cause. It will provide the tools to take back your life and resolve the triggers that result in unplanned anger reactions.

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.

Through the use of acceptance and mindfulness strategies help clients to be fully present in the moment and to accept otherwise negative emotions that contribute to unhealthy expressions of anger. Commitment and behavior change strategies help clients to change or persist in behaviors more in line with their own values. Used together these strategies increase client’s psychological flexibility.

Anger is normal and tells you something is wrong in your life. However, some of us need to learn to express our anger differently. Counselling involves learning to identify your unique triggers, and exploring new responses that are healthy to you and those in your life. It is most effective in managing your anger if you can identify causes of your anger so we will look at family history of anger and life experiences. Learning communication skills and healthy boundaries may help you reduce your angry responses and be more relaxed in your life and relationships.

We all get angry sometimes as anger is part of our core emotions. If you find yourself struggling with managing your anger, which is impacting your relationships and affecting your life, you likely have a lot of emotion to work through. Seeking help and speaking to a therapist can help you process your emotions and allow you to find better ways to address your emotions and navigate challenging situations.

Anger is a common response when we are afraid. It can also be a reaction when we feel shame or guilt. The challenge with anger is that unreleased, it can create health issues and when released, it can have serious consequences. My approach is to work with clients to identify underlying beliefs that trigger the anger reaction. By becoming self-aware, the client begins to gain control of their emotions which in turn allows them to have different outcomes.

Anger is like many emotions we experience - it can get too hot to handle and when it is not dealt with it causes problems for ourselves and others. It can often lead to relapsing into addictive tendencies, having conflict with others and doing and saying things we regret later. At OWA Therapy you will learn to deal with anger by understanding where it is coming from and developing ways of regulating it. Instead of anger calling the shots, we will learn to get in control of anger and become empowered enough to choose how we express it.

Anger comes from a core that may be expressed in an entirely different situation with an angry reaction. Trish Joyes' approach is to work with clients in self-awareness and figure out what strategies uniquely assist the client. In doing so, clients will benefit from a more positive lifestyle and better communications skills in their relationships.

Are you finding it difficult to manage your anger? Anger is often a result of loosing your sense of control, feeling frustrated, or being blocked from something that is important to you. Psychotherapy can help you develop better self-understanding, reduce stress, cultivate better judgement, develop your communication skills, and increase empathy and connection with those around you.

Anger is a normal emotion. However, anger becomes a problem when it occurs frequently, is disproportionate to the situation that triggered it, when it leads to verbal or physical aggression, and when you cannot “let it go” even after the situation has passed. Anger management helps people identify the triggers for their anger and to develop strategies to manage those triggers so they do not lead to excessive or inappropriate anger. While it may not always feel like it, there is a step between whatever triggers your anger and your feelings and expression of anger. You may not be able to avoid the people or situations that make you angry, but you can learn to change your reactions to them.

Anger can often feel so overwhelming that it causes you to do things you later regret. Not knowing what came over you, there are many unanswered questions: why do I keep doing this? why can't I stop myself? Sometimes, alcohol, substances, or other addictive behaviours lead to this anger, making it more difficult to control. As an addiction counsellor, I help clients overcome addictions leading to anger issues so they can regain a sense of control, rebuild relationships, and gain clarity about how to move forward. If you are unsure where to start, send me a message and I can help. If I'm not the right fit, I can connect you to the right support so you can start gaining back control, today.

I specialize in the treatment of anger through supporting individuals in the understanding and expression of emotional experience in a value-driven manner. I provide clients with the tools and strategies necessary to manage anger, and empower them to feel regulated and return to feeling safe and in control within their body. I foster a non-judgmental and compassionate environment where clients feel safe and understood.

Anger is good; we should get angry when we see some injustice or when someone is trying to violate our personal property lines. In such cases, our anger is what motivates us to take appropriate action. Anger is a good emotion when it gets us moving, but if we let it take root, we set ourselves up for a great deal of potential harm. Learn the right life skills to manage the anger emotion. Everyone can learn these skills. The same as everyone can learn to read or learn to play their favorite sport. As we learn and practice the skills, we become better at whatever we do. Hire me to help you become successful in managing all your feelings, including 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.

I treat ANGER MANAGEMENT on two levels. The first is to give you tools to use when you are feeling angry. The second is to determine what experiences get you mad and to heal them. Examples are being treated unfairly, spoken to as though you were stupid, being told what to do, etc. These are like open wouns and they can flare up into anger easilty. They must be healed in order for you to be free of extreme anger.
