Anger Management and Counselling in Neebing, ON.

Anger can be an overwhelming emotion, but it doesn't have to determine what you do or who you are. Strategies to manage anger, with skills to focus on what really matters to you, can help you respond to this difficult emotion and the negative impact it can have on your life and relationships. Counselling can help you be the person you really want to be.

Anger is the most common coping mechanism that is often misunderstood. Suppressing or avoiding anxiety inevitably leads to being overwhelmed and sometimes emotionally exploding. Instead of suppressing anger, a person should learn how to embrace it, be curious about it, feel it, understand it, and eventually channel it in a healthy and constructive manner. Anger comes from a sense of being misunderstood, ignored or left unsupported and the therapy should acknowledge and explore these areas.

I help men make sense of and manage their anger. Typically there is so much more to the story than just stressed & irritable. Therapy helps you dip below the surface to reign it in for the long-run. With anger it's like something hits you and away it goes. A run-away train or a room you can't escape no matter how much you want to. It's frustrating to not feel control over it. People in your life certainly feel frustrated too. This only causes you to further push them away. Anger can look like yelling, or intimidation; an explosion of emotion directed at who ever happens to be there. It can also be held inside though, sometimes even directed towards yourself with harsh words or other harm.

Most anger is based on our assumptions about we think the world should be. Once we realize it is within our sphere of influence to change our assumptions, it gives control over how and when we react. Anger is just energy, which is often sending us a message that our sense of justice has been offended. Lets work with that, and see if you agree with it, and then find ways to manage in the moment to reduce the likelihood of creating a regretful event. A central belief people often have is that other people/other events are "making" them angry. Once you come to understand where your anger comes from, it gives such a greater sense of control over reactions.

Anger can feel like an emotional experience that we have no control over. In therapy, you can explore the root causes of anger and how it impacts your life, your experiences, and your relationships. You can learn skills to effectively respond to anger, ground yourself when feeling angry, and de-escalate when anger is impacting your relationships. I work with individuals, couples and families.

I have spent hundreds of hours working with clients who struggle with managing anger/rage. There are specific, step-by-step techniques that can be taught, that are very effective at helping people deal with this issue. Based on reports from clients I have worked with, I have found that if clients are committed to their process, most people make significant improvement within 6-12 sessions. Drawing from polyvagal theory, AEDP and mindfulness techniques, clients can learn healthy ways to manage and experience their anger.

Anger management is about anger understanding first. Why are we angry? I will help clients' seeking assistance with anger by creating a safe space to explore the anger, to process it, and understand it. We can't seek to manage it if we don't understand what is really happening for us. Through pattern exploration of experiences with anger, we can process and navigate the emotion and work together to manage it.
