Anger Management and Counselling in Tecumseh, ON.

Anger serves a purpose in our lives and can be helpful at times. However, there are times when individuals seek help when anger causes dysfunction in their lives. Together we will discover the sources of your anger and work as a team to help you better self-regulate emotions. Through using various techniques, I will guide you to a heightened awareness of your body and responses to the environment in order to manage emotions.

There are 3 phases in working with Anger 1.Prevention- Attempts to forestall the very onset of anger. 2. Intervention- Aims to reduce the intensity or the duration of anger that has already ignited. 3. Postvention- Aims to discharge any residual anger. Emotions are regulated by re-experiencing, releasing, or converting them into a safe form. We will not only focus on your cognitions and behaviors as entry points but also focus on the modification of affect (your emotions). Anger is an emotion. To have no room in therapy for the feeling component of this emotion is to deny its very essence, your existence. Gestalt perspective- Expression of anger can be very productive. Let out!

I have spent hundreds of hours working with clients who struggle with managing anger/rage. There are specific, step-by-step techniques that can be taught, that are very effective at helping people deal with this issue. Based on reports from clients I have worked with, I have found that if clients are committed to their process, most people make significant improvement within 6-12 sessions. Drawing from polyvagal theory, AEDP and mindfulness techniques, clients can learn healthy ways to manage and experience their anger.

Anger is often thought of as a negative emotion, but I like to think of Anger as the part of you that loves you and wants to stand up for you when you’ve experienced something “unfair.” Anger does not always make the best decisions about when to stand up for you, so I work collaboratively with clients to identify and explore how anger shows up in their lives, and to strengthen and develop strategies to minimize the impact it has on living the life you want to live.

Anger is a healthy and natural emotion when expressed in a mature and appropriate way. However, when anger is left untreated and gets out of control, it can lead to child abuse, domestic violence, as well as physical and verbal abuse. Anger management counseling provides an opportunity to learn more about our anger. During the counseling process clients will gain an emotional awareness and learn problem solving skills, which improve a person's frustration and tolerance levels in stressful situation. The ultimate goal in anger management counseling is to improve the way we deal with anger in order to have and maintain good relationships especially with the one's we love.
