Anger Management and Counselling in Warman, SK.

Anger is a natural human response and perhaps the most misunderstood emotion. It can both serve and protect us - but left unchecked, it can lead to serious problems – damaging relationships, jeopardizing careers, and leaving us feeling out of control. Many of us were never taught what to do with anger, aside from bottling it up or acting it out. But there is another way. In my work, I help people to develop insight into the roots of their relationship with anger, and learn skills to authentically express it. Anger is often compared with fire, and as the saying goes, ‘fire is a good servant but a bad master.’ Together, we can work toward getting the fire under control.

Every one of us has felt anger, a normal and usually healthy emotion. However, when anger takes control it can be destructive and damaging. It can lead to problems in relationships. Anger is often a secondary emotion; it is what we see at the tip of the iceberg. Beneath that tip are the primary emotion of grief, sadness, frustration, hurt, fear, confusion, rejection, worry, failure, embarrassment, shame, vulnerability, and insecurity. I can work with you to identify the learned patterns of responding, the triggers, and the emotions beneath your anger and together we can find better ways to cope and respond using grounding, reframing, and approaches that uniquely fit your situation.

Anger is a secondary emotion that is often referred to as a bodyguard emotion. It seconds the primary emotions that are often more vulnerable. Anger has multiple functions but there are times when it does its job too well that instead of communicating unmet needs, it breaks down relationships instead. Our work will focus on building a bridge between how you experience emotions and how you express/communicate them. We will work on recognizing signs, triggers, enablers, and soothers of anger. The goal is always to regulate intensity, communicate the needs behind the emotion, and reduce conflict in personal and professional relationships.

Anger often stems from feeling so many emotions all at once. You lose a sense of control. You go from 0 to 100 in a blink of an eye. By getting angry you’re attempting to regain control that’s presumed lost. But instead, you’re full of guilt and shame. Feeling angry and reacting in anger, is simply exhausting. I’ll help you learn how to regain control, in a healthy way.

Narrative therapy is a type of experiential therapy that works by identifying individuals separately from their lived experiences, and empowering those individuals to use that same approach when dealing with their problems. By removing blame and others’ perceptions, individuals are able to re-author their stories and re-establish their experiences in the here-and-now. Over time with the use of narrative therapy, individuals are able to understand themselves better and separately from their problems and recognize how the language of their stories shape their life and identity.

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. Brainwaive optimization is a new cutting edge technology that allows one to rewire circuitry responsible for reactivity driving the anger.

Anger is an emotion that exists for a reason. So often in our world, we are taught that anger is unacceptable. Yet, it is often anger that alerts us to fears; that we may be taken advantage of, hurt, or at-risk. As we realize our present level of safety, establish boundaries, and gain better insight into our own emotional states, we begin to be able to address difficulty with anger management. We may have significant wounds from our past that have taught us to be hypervigilant of risk. Valid resentments from our past may be represented in symbolic elements of our daily life we do not realize. Also, our greatest fears may be what spur our anger. Together, we can address anger.
