Anger Management and Counselling in Sundridge, ON.

Anger is an emotion like any other and as such we should not seek to run away from it. It is the expression of the emotion rather than the emotion itself that causes problems in peoples lives. Exploring the feelings that are often masked by anger can help individuals to develop a fresh perspective on the emotion itself and effectively learn to resolve situations before they develop into damaging behaviours.

Have you ever felt like you needed to hold a piece of yourself back, fearing that people won't accept you? Do you feel you can’t be your true and authentic self around others? Are you constantly saying yes to things you want to say no to? Wouldn’t you rather feel like you’re in control? Others are more worried about how you act when you're angry than about why you're angry.

We will work together to help you identify and better understand your triggers, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and fostering emotional regulation.
