Anger Management and Counselling in Saint George, ON.

Anger is neither good nor bad, but just one of the many emotions individuals are capable of feeling. Problems can arise from what happens after anger has been felt. Our attitude and response to feeling angry is often learnt from others as we grow up which, in turn, influences our thinking about the situation that resulted in us feeling angry. These then combine to determine if we respond in favourable or unfavourable ways. Exploring how an individual views the situation that lead to feeling angry and his/her subsequent thinking can uncover unrealistic attitudes and thought patterns. This can then be replaced with more appropriate attitudes and thought patterns.

Anger is a normal and healthy emotion and we all get angry from time to time. However, when anger turns destructive and/or self-destructive and brings problems into your personal and professional life, you need to seek support to learn how to manage your anger better. In the process, you will learn how to relieve the symptoms and recognize the signs of anger, increase your confidence and self esteem level, enjoy stronger and healthier relationships with your loved ones and coworkers, learn how to express yourself and your emotions with confidence and without anger, and live more balanced life both mentally and emotionally.

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.

I take a practical, logical approach to managing unhealthy anger that tackles how anger shows up in our bodies and minds. When working with me, you'll begin to learn what drives your anger and the science-based tools that will help you keep your cool. Although anger outbursts often takes us by surprise, with guidance, you can learn how to spot the early signs of anger build-up and release it before it explodes. Together, let's demystify your experience with anger and find a concrete solution that helps you become more in control of your emotions.

At times, anger may give rise to harmful or counterproductive behaviors. At Atlas Therapy, our focus is on helping individuals mitigate emotional intensity through the teaching of diverse emotional regulation skills and the identification of psychological cues. It's essential to comprehend the underlying frustrations, triggers, and emotions to effectively address anger. Our approach emphasizes fostering self-awareness and providing clients with a versatile toolkit to bolster relationships, enhance overall lifestyle, and promote well-being with confidence.

My approach to anger counseling is trauma-informed and rooted in compassion, curiosity, and emotional regulation. I help clients understand that anger is often a protective response to deeper feelings such as hurt, fear, or unmet needs. Together, we explore the underlying sources of anger and work to develop healthy coping strategies using techniques from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) mindfulness, and somatic awareness. Clients learn to express their anger in constructive ways, set healthy boundaries, and transform reactive patterns into empowered, conscious responses.

In anger management therapy, I provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore the emotions behind your anger and understand how it affects your life and relationships. Together, we identify triggers, develop healthier coping strategies, and practice constructive ways to express your feelings. My goal is to help you regain control, reduce conflict, and build stronger, more positive connections with the people around you while fostering greater self-awareness and emotional balance.

Anger can be a strong emotion. When used in an unproductive way, anger can harm us (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 give us some important information about boundaries, needs & expectations. It can also help to motivate us to make necessary changes. In therapy, we can work together to get a handle on anger and harness that energy in healthy, helpful ways.

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 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. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit for therapy.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of anger management in a very humane yet fresh perspective. You see, anger is a normal emotion but it is the valence (intensity) as well as the coupling choice of what one does with this that is the problem. Telling someone to "not" do it or modifying behavior with a trite psychological plan that only breeds a compliant response is not the way to change anger. Brainwave optimization is a new cutting edge technology that allows one to rewire circuitry responsible for reactivity driving the anger.

I often hear from clients that when the “anger switch” turns on, they’ve lost all control. I work with clients to recognize what triggers that switch and keeps the anger in control. I help clients learn to become less reactive and more responsive to their anger which means that they are in control and have the ability to choose how they respond to their anger. Clients learn how to communicate in more effective ways allowing them to build healthier relationships, handle challenges and conflict with confidence and feel empowered to work towards their goals.

Anger can be a stumbling block that keeps you from having deeper relationships and reaching your full potential. In fact, loss of control due to anger can lead to significant consequences if not dealt with. In therapy, we look for the source(s) of your anger as well as practical steps and skills to help you overcome your anger. I help you discover the thoughts and beliefs that contribute to your anger in order to allow you to change your emotions and behavior. In a non-judgmental atmosphere, we examine your past and current context to bring understanding, healing and a plan for future success in this area.
