Anger Management and Counselling in Stittsville, ON.

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 just one of a wide range of emotions that we experience. It is often a way of coping with feelings of helplessness, vulnerability, or disappointment. It can be a signal that that your needs are not being met, and an opportunity to make positive changes. Anger that is not controlled, however, brings pain to everyone. I help clients to understand where their anger comes from and teach them Cognitive Behavioural strategies for managing it.

Anger is probably the most misunderstood emotions and also one of our most valuable tools. Many of us have expereinced anger as abusive, brutal or scary. But don't confuse the feeling of anger with it's expression. The flip side of anger is passion. When we are really anger we are very passionate! We care deeply about something. Regardless of how it looks, anger is always a call for change. If we understand it and use anger to work for us, it never has to become large or mean. Instead it is like an inner advocate working for us with clarity and firmness createing the changes we need. I will work with you to harness your anger and get it working for you rather than against you!

The first step to successful anger management is understanding the underlying causes, triggers and the history of your individual response to stress. There are good coping techniques and analysis that will help you change your patterns of behavior to more productive ones. That will free you ultimately to allow your feelings, to find the patience and skills to listen first, and then communicate with your family and friends without conflict. I am happy to work with you to help you manage your anger feelings. 613 832-3040.

Anger is a result of a sequence of events, thoughts, and feelings. You feel it in your body. You experience in your mind and the emotions are ever intense. You CAN feel more in control and at peace. We help you identify why you get angry and we walk you though a sequence of exercises designed to give you back control over your feelings and reactions.

Clients presenting with anger issues have a personal history, family-of-origin history in which anger has been distorted and thus de-legitimated in some way. To be effective, any clinical approach to this emotion must include identifying and deconstructing the foundational components buried and sanitized in the client’s subconscious mind, yet continue, repeatedly to constrain their growth. Effective unravelling of personal history benefits the client in terms of understanding, self-awareness, and self-forgiveness.

I am able to help you learn to identify your emotions, behaviours, physical sensations, and thoughts that are connected to your anger. I work with you to learn your anger cycle, triggers, and anger expression. I help you develop alternatives to anger by problem solving, assertive communication, relaxation techniques, stress management, and emotional regulation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a highly structured approach that requires homework and practice between sessions.

Clients will benefit from using an acceptance and commitment therapy approach and will learn the tools to cope well with their emotions. Anger is felt to be a natural response to our environment. Client's will learn to gain control over how they respond to their anger in a healthy and productive way.

Anger can be something that seems to sneak up on people from out of nowhere, however, this is not actually the case. Anger is a signal that something is wrong in your life and that underlying issues need to be dealt with. By resolving root causes and becoming aware of your unique triggers before they reach a crisis point you can learn to manage your anger in a positive and constructive way.

Counsellors at Elim, in addition to knowing anger management techniques, are trained in getting to the root of anger. Clients not only learn how to control anger but also come to understand what is the emotional wound behind the tendency to be angry. Our approach not only controls the anger but help clients heal from the psychological pain that might be driving the anger. Many of our clients report that once they have dealt with painful issues of the past, they become much more at peace with themselves and with others.

Anger is an important tool in our emotional toolbox. It helps us to determine when things are not as they should be, and the energy of anger can help us take action to change things. When anger gets out of control, however, it can be destructive to relationships and self esteem. I will work with you to identify what triggers your anger and what leads it to spin out of control, then help you to identify ways in which to regain control.

We all feel angry sometimes. Most of the time, we can deal with feelings of anger or irritability quickly. But when anger gets out of control, occurs frequently, and is mixed with aggression or violent behavior, we must do something about it! Uncontrolled anger can affect your personal, social well being and even your workplace, which will probably get you even angrier... Anger can be caused by several factors; it can also be your reaction to trauma, or to a painful experience. You may need to do ‘some digging’ to understand where the anger comes from, and to find strategies to manage better your Anger. I can help!
