Anger Management and Counselling in Thornhill, ON.

The use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is something that many anger management therapies incorporate. By trying to get a patient to open up about their emotions and feelings and being driven to accomplish a specific task (in this case controlling anger), a person can see positive results in their behaviour. By slowing down our thoughts, we can catch ourselves when anger presents itself and choose an alternate course of action, more in line with our goals.

Anger Management helps you address the issues of anger resolution difficulties, and teaches skills to improve communication and assertiveness techniques. You will acquire tools to use to control your anger and manage your response to situations. In addition, you will gain the knowledge of triggers to your anger and understand why you get angry and find constructive ways to express your feelings

Together, we will gain insight into the root of your anger and the purpose that it serves in your life. We will empower you to learn more about yourself when you experience anger and decide how you choose to respond to this emotion. I employ an integrative approach in my practice working alongside clients within an empathetic and supportive dynamic.

Understanding the roots of your anger can go a long way to empowering you to respond in ways that best suit the situation, leaving you feeling satisfied and content, rather than reacting in ways that feel the most relieving in that moment but leave you regretting your behavior, long after the event. I can help you learn to express your feelings more appropriately and take back the power that anger has had over you in the past.

Therapy for anger management can be helpful for both your close relationships and the workplace. Therapy integrates strategies to regulate emotion, tolerate distress, and express frustrations in a manner that is respectful. If your anger difficulties occur exclusively within the context of a romantic relationship, couple’s therapy or therapy with a couple’s therapist can be particularly helpful. New Leaf Psychology Centre also offers anger management therapy for children and youth.

Anger is good; we should get angry when we see some injustice or when someone is trying to violate our personal property lines. In such cases, our anger is what motivates us to take appropriate action. Anger is a good emotion when it gets us moving, but if we let it take root, we set ourselves up for a great deal of potential harm. Learn the right life skills to manage the anger emotion. Everyone can learn these skills. The same as everyone can learn to read or learn to play their favorite sport. As we learn and practice the skills, we become better at whatever we do. Hire me to help you become successful in managing all your feelings, including anger.

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.

Nobody wants to be angry and upset themselves or others. Anger is sometimes about current issues that need to be resolved through a good action plan. Other times it is due to deeper issues that need to be worked through. Anger is often a symptom of previous upsets or issues in our lives that caused us pain in some way. We will process those upsets through discussion and unique exercises created for you as homework or to be completed in session until they are worked through.

Anger is a valid emotion, but when it starts to feel like it’s running the show or damaging your relationships, it’s time to pause and explore what’s underneath. Maybe you’ve been reacting in ways you don’t feel proud of, or bottling things up until they boil over. Either way, it doesn’t mean you’re a bad person, it means something deeper needs your attention. In therapy, we’ll work together to understand your triggers, explore the root of your anger, and develop healthier ways to express and manage it. Our goal isn’t to get rid of anger, but to help you gain more control, self-awareness, and confidence in how you respond. You deserve to feel heard, not ashamed, and we’re here to help you.

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.
