Anger Management and Counseling in Philadelphia, PA.

As a group therapist, helping people address their anger in healthier ways is something we work on regularly and successfully. In the context of the group / team work, clients are encouraged to express their frustrations and irritations in new ways, so that the old 'stuffing feelings until you blow up' is no longer the first coping tool used.

The benefit of my approach is that instead of getting angry you will learn how to think and react creatively so you are better able to find a way to prevail in the long run. People and life will sometimes do you in and obstruct you. However, you are rarely at your best when angry. It is your beliefs that lead to your self-defeating feelings of anger. I show how an angry response leads you to have far less leverage than if you felt healthy negative feelings like great annoyance, frustration, displeasure and disappointment. I teach you how to think about injustice, interference, and insult so that you stay in control of your reactions in order to creatively respond and ultimately prevail!

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.

Anger management is often worked through using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients increase awareness of their thoughts to help control their reactionary behavior. It can also be approached by looking at family and societal messages that support violent ways of expressing anger. Societal messages directed at men in particular, often support anger as an emotion men should focus on. This often masks other emotions, such as sadness or fear. Social Psychology paired with Emotion Focused Therapy can often help break down such negative messaging as well as increase healthy emotional awareness and expression.
