Anger Management and Counselling in Greely, ON.

My style of anger management may differ from the typical options. I focus on safe emotional release work called Psychodramatic Bodywork where the client and environment are safe and not at risk of injury/damage. Using floor and vertical mats, clients are supported to release feelings to then be able to access the root causes of their rage/fear/sadness/'anger management' struggles. Emotional release work is extremely transformational, and helps people release the adrenaline stored in their bodies that block mindfulness, clarity and authentic emotional expression. I look forward to explaining this process further during the free meet and greet sessions.

By loosely following an eight-ten session Anger Management protocol, clients have the opportunity to not only gain effective tools for gaining control over their anger, but also to finally gain an understanding of it. Clients learn of the triggers, emotional/physical reactions, and self-beliefs that maintain unhealthy anger expression. By developing physical, emotional, and cognitive coping strategies, clients complete this program feeling in control, empowered, and grounded.

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 issues often run deep within a person's soul. They can be connected to past hurt, injustice, betrayal or even disappointment. First and foremost, I believe it's important to uncover and resolve the core issues that have caused the anger. Doing so will also help you gain internal awareness which will allow you to begin building the necessary skills to respond to life's difficulties, rather than react. Learning to respond is the process of calming your emotions enough to think, pray and choose your behaviour. Reacting is simply being dictated by your unresolved issues, a lack of awareness and the necessary tools. I can help you resolve you anger rather than simply manage it!

Anger is really the outward expression of internal pain. Often it is easier to be angry than to feel painful emotions such as sadness, loss, and grief. But it is not easy to work through the underlying foundations of anger. By recognizing and understanding the feelings that are driving your anger, I can help you get to the bottom of your anger issues and support positive change in your life.

I help clients unlock the negative cycle that anger and its accompanying behaviors may cause. In an empathic and supportive environment I help the client understand where the underlying feelings and thoughts originate and loosen the stranglehold that this cycle previously held. Together with cognitive and behavioral strategies we develop new and healthy coping methods to manage these emotions more productively.

If anger has a hold on you and your life, therapy can help you feel free again. I can help you learn the necessary skills to manage overwhelming emotions that arise due to anger and help you identify the roots of your anger. Therapy can also help a person address underlying emotions and memories that may be contributing to the distress. With time and patience, anyone can learn to control their anger, and I am here to help you through this journey.

Anger is a strong and tough emotion. When used in an unproductive way, anger can harm our inner world and sense of self-esteem (i.e. self-criticism, self-injury), and harm our relationships (i.e. blaming, criticism, aggression, inflexibility). However, when this feeling is used in a healthy way, it can help us by alerting us that boundaries may have been crossed or that we may have some thoughts to challenge. It can also help to motivate us and help us to be assertive. We can work together to get a handle on anger and harness that energy in healthy, helpful ways.

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.

Anger, while a typical human emotion, can rapidly escalate into a problem when not under control.

You can learn relaxation techniques to assist you in calming down and relaxing your body and mind.

When experiencing a heightened emotion such as anger, there is a sense of being out of control. There is a lack of ability to control what one is saying or doing. In therapy, it will be about focusing on what one has control over when experience a moment of anger that results in a negative outcome. There will be a focus on body sensation, emotions and behaviours in order to manage and cope with the emotion of anger.

At times anger can feel like an extremely powerful emotion. While anger can serve us by signaling when we’ve encountered injustice or our personal boundaries have been crossed, it can also impact our lives in unwanted ways. In seeking to better manage our anger, we can raise our awareness of what it is signaling while recognizing where it isn’t serving us, and then seek to create new ways of using that energy to create positive change in our lives. Through mindful awareness and behavioural practice, we can learn to respond and react in a manner that is supportive of our greater well-being, personal relationships, and best self.

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 will work with you to help you understand your triggers. We will talk about the emotions and feelings that are coming up for you in situations.
