Anger Management and Counseling in Kyle, TX.

We all have emotions, and we all get angry. It's not a bad thing to get angry, however, it's how we manage and regulate these emotions in our day to day life that is really important. My work in anger management is helping the person identify triggers to be able to safely regulate emotions in the community. I'd love to speak with you more about how Austin Trauma Therapy Center can help you.

I have had a great deal of experience working with children and adolescents who have difficulty managing their anger. We look at patterns of behavior. We explore what happened before they felt angry, their triggers. Then together we create a list of coping skills that they can use in place of the inappropriate behaviors they they were using. Since they helped me generate the list, they are invested in these coping skills. I find that many of my clients need a physical outlet for their anger.

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 is a secondary emotion meaning arising when people experience an escalating series of intensifying emotions and with that intensification, feel out of control. To feel back in control, they "act out" by (in no particular order) shout, yell, swear, verbally abuse, break things, drive recklessly, threaten others, and generally drive everyone away from them over time. I teach people to honor their emotions and learn to catch the first inklings of impatience, frustrations, or whatever emotion becomes so uncomfortable for them that they flair. A desire to rid themselves of this potentially sociopathic behavior plus a curiosity to proactively observe themselves is necessary for progress.

Dealing with anger is an issue for many. Often, anger is not the primary feeling. Usually, there are many feelings beneath the anger that give rise to it. We will explore together where your anger is coming from and together we will help you acquire skills that will increase your ability to control your reactions. Learning to curb your tendencies toward anger will leave you feeling empowered and will improve your relationships as well.

At Chenal Family Therapy, we believe that no anger exists without injury. In other words, angry people are ultimately hurting people. We help our clients uncover the source of their anger, gain control over their emotions, eliminate other unhealthy coping mechanisms, and become a safe person to those around them. We work with local courts, law enforcement, and employers to help meet the requirements of mandated, court-ordered treatment in a way that minimizes disruption to your schedule and your life (including weekend treatment options).

What's fueling your fire? Life Practice provides a means to discovering just that and a way to bank the fires of anger and rage. What kind of experience would you have if that power was forged into tools that worked for you rather than against you? When the heat flares, destruction often follows leaving a mess to clean up. Allow us to aid in the clean up and assist you to bring forth a phoenix from the ashes.

Some of the latest studies suggest that the root issue for those experiencing anger issues stem from a sense of self shame. I received training as an Anger Management Specialist I and am trained to work with individuals either through a 12 session course or a combination of coursework and individual therapy. I've found the latter to be very effective in helping people understand their anger response and develop other resources and outlets to manage that powerful emotion

Anger can be terrifying for everyone. Often we have not learned skills on how to handle anger appropriately and in a healthy manner. Anger itself is not a bad emotion, it is how we choose to use it that can cause problems. Sometimes when we react by yelling or shouting we may be perceiving a threat that is not there. When working with clients I help find out the triggers and emotions that bring out the anger and find better ways to express the anger. These skills can help everyone!

As a culture, we do not do well with healthy expressions of anger. Often we are raised to suppress it and then we have limited practice at dealing with big emotion. There is a spectrum of healthy aggression- to keep us safe and to maintain boundaries- and rage- our body's strategy for safety. Anger management is about applying the right "dosing" to maintain boundaries yet not fracture relationships or suffer other losses. I am able to help you learn to regulate your body to be able to apply the appropriate "dose" to be effective and not destructive.

I provide individual psychotherapy for anger management. Anger is normal emotion that everyone experiences. It becomes a problem when one expresses anger inappropriately or one lacks the proficiency to express any emotions but anger. I use Humanistic and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to help my clients understand their anger, improve their emotional experience, and express their emotions in healthy ways. A healthy emotional life is the cornerstone of living a full and successful life.
