Anger Management and Counselling in Unionville, ON.

Anger can be unpredictable and can arise for a variety of reasons; death, illness, change, loss, addiction, relationship strain, workplace stress, chronic burnout, chronic anger, and various other reasons. It is an emotion that you feel and it affects how you act and it can affect relationships, work, and life. Many people I work with feel ashamed, fearful, and stressed about their anger and it’s impact. Together, we learn from your experiences to understand your anger: how it feels, your triggers, and the patterns and beliefs that are embedded in it. We build safety, skills, support, and intentional response. My approach is integrated and personalized, finding a pace that works for you.

Anger is a primary feeling that signals when we perceive that our boundaries are crossed. It is a normal, healthy response that cannot be avoided in relationships. Like a compass, it gives us direction in relating to those around us. For best outcomes, it is essential to learn to deal with our anger using productive and mindful strategies. The healthy expression of anger is not hurtful, aggressive or repressed. Rather, it can be used to deal with conflict and set the parameters for negotiating in healthy ways, making room for everyone’s needs.

Anger has been seen as something scary we should control or suppress. Yet it carries important information about our boundaries, needs, and ethics. In my work with anger, I draw on ideas from Karla McLaren, who sees anger as a signal that something in our lives requires attention or protection. Integrating elements from ACT, DBT, IFS, and somatic regulation strategies, I help clients learn to recognize what their anger is communicating and how to respond to it constructively. Rather than reactivity or pushing it away, clients develop skills to understand anger’s message, set healthy boundaries, and communicate more clearly in relationships of all kinds.

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.

Anger is the most common coping mechanism that is often misunderstood. Suppressing or avoiding anxiety inevitably leads to being overwhelmed and sometimes emotionally exploding. Instead of suppressing anger, a person should learn how to embrace it, be curious about it, feel it, understand it, and eventually channel it in a healthy and constructive manner. Anger comes from a sense of being misunderstood, ignored or left unsupported and the therapy should acknowledge and explore these areas. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

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 can feel like it's out of our control sometimes, but it's also a valid and necessary emotion. Through anger management work, we can begin to understand the early signs of escalation and learn how to regulate before we reach the point where it feels uncontrollable. We will also explore the "iceberg" theory of anger, and look at what other emotions are bubbling below the surface of the outward expression of anger.

Anger can be a powerful and sometimes overwhelming emotion, but with the right strategies, it can be managed effectively.

Reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to begin working on managing your anger in a way that promotes healthier relationships and personal well-being.

Anger is a common, I'd say necessary function, for it helps us right wrongs, & protect ourselves and others. Like the saying goes, "Good fences make good neighbours", and anger is the energy to make such fences. Sometimes though, anger can seem out of control, or inapropriate. I help you to understand your anger, and to use it constructively for bettering your life, and the lives of others.

Anger comes from a core that may be expressed in an entirely different situation with an angry reaction. Trish Joyes' approach is to work with clients in self-awareness and figure out what strategies uniquely assist the client. In doing so, clients will benefit from a more positive lifestyle and better communications skills in their relationships.
