Anger Management and Counselling in Orillia, ON.

Anger is a widely misunderstood emotion and that allows it to play a dominating role in many lives. When we understand our anger, we begin breaking the spell it has over our lives. I've seen many people overcome their explosive anger in therapy by developing an ability to remain calm when stressed and learn to communicate more effectively in distressing situations. I also offer an Anger Management Certificate to those who complete a 6-session course on anger management skills.

Anger can be a difficult emotion for many of us to deal with. It is important to understand that it is not wrong to feel anger and in fact, anger can be a very healthy emotion. In therapy, we work together to first understand the source of your anger and why it shows up in possibly triggering ways. We can then work to find healthier ways to express anger and build better relationships. I also would like to empower you to feel better about your anger by not having to feel guilty about it. Call today and book a free consultation.

Feeling angry? Frustrated? Feeling at a loss of how to manage your emotions? I can definitely help you in making sense of it all and provide you with some effective strategies. I've ran anger management groups,onsite workplace conflict resolution, and have helped hundreds of people individually with issues like work place conflict, toxic relationships, family conflict, grief and anger, and many other life issues.

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. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Anger is often connected to stress, hurt, overwhelm, or emotions that feel difficult to express in other ways. You may notice yourself reacting quickly, shutting down, or struggling with conflict in relationships. Therapy can help you better understand what is happening beneath the surface while building healthier ways to communicate, regulate emotions, and respond in difficult moments. My approach is supportive and focused on understanding, not judgment.

Anger is a common stage of grief/loss and often occurs together. My approach to helping clients work through these emotions is by combining grief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and relaxation strategies. By recognizing how anger can mask deeper felt emotions such as helplessness and or sadness; we can begin to understand & process your loss, find meaning, and develop self care as well as coping skills.

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.

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. I will also help you to develop tools to more safely connect with anger so that you can experience more fulfilling relationships with yourself and others.
