Anger Management and Counselling in Stittsville, ON.

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 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.

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.
