Anger Management and Counseling in Parker, TX.

Many of my clients arrive to therapy wanting help regulating their emotions. Sometimes they just want to know what feeling they may be experiencing in their body while others may not know how to self-soothe or prevent themselves from experiencing a cycle of irritation, anxiety, anger, and guilt. I help my clients find out what their emotional triggers are, how they can process their emotions in a healthy way, and how to self-soothe.

Treating anger entails assessing the root causes, and normalizing the emotion while emphasizing healthy expressions. Focusing on enhancing emotional regulation skills and communicating needs and frustrations, along with skill-building and behavior modification will be considered in a treatment approach for anger management. Moreover, understanding triggers and coping strategies to best empower the individual to navigate their emotions.

Anger has many sources, but regardless of the source, I know that it can have devastating effects in our lives, often times that we look back and regret things we did and/or said.

I look forward to exploring with you the source of your anger, so that we can begin the healing process, so that you can live a happier life and be in better control of yourself, as well as learning healthy coping skills for de-escalation.

Anger is usually caused by shoulds or demands that you impose upon others. You argue with what is, demanding that what you want is what should be. Anger is truly one of the hardest emotions to shift out of when you're really feeling it strongly. In working with you on your anger, I will start by just listening and trying to understand why you're feeling hurt, betrayed, abandoned, abused, neglected, or deprived in some fashion. Then I will teach you to evaluate what is in your control & what isn't, so we can help you to focus upon what is in your control. In addition, I will teach you appropriate ways to express yourself, and to shift out of demandingness, into stating what you prefer

In my experience as an EMDR therapist, I pay close attention to the links between past and present. I’ve seen time and time again how unhealed emotional wounds resurface and come out sideways. While anger management can provide helpful strategies, they don’t get to the heart of the issue. Often, anger is what we see on the surface, but the real problem is what’s underneath the anger. Negative beliefs like “I’m helpless,” “I’m out of control,” and “I’m a failure,” start to bubble up, and anger comes to the rescue. It can get us in trouble, but at least it gets the blood pumping. With research-proven EMDR therapy, I help men heal anger at its source so it doesn’t have to be managed.

My approach revolves around helping clients gain a deep understanding of the root causes and triggers of their anger. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors associated with anger. Through evidence-based techniques and strategies, clients will benefit by learning healthier ways to express and manage their anger, enhancing their communication skills, and ultimately regaining control over their reactions.

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.

As a Certified Anger Resolution Therapist, I understand that you may have already tried to control your frustration or someone else may be telling you that your anger is a problem. Either way, I recognize that you have been doing the best you can but you need some help to achieve consistent management of your anger. During counseling, I will teach you methods individualized for your specific needs to help you recognize triggers and control your responses.

We best manage our anger when we approach it from two angles. The first is to examine and change our behavior. There is always a predictive pattern to an anger escalation. Once we learn this and understand this path, we can engage it differently and have an improved outcome. Secondly, for longer term relief, we need to examine how we think and how we can begin to see life differently and get our needs met in healthier ways. Healthy anger is simply the slight boost of energy we feel when we engage something that is not right or is unfair (at least to us!). Learning how to deal with the thoughts and feelings around this will give us more tools and better outcomes.

Do you sometimes feel out-of-control? Do you feel as if you anger easily? I can help you experience your emotions without being held hostage to them. I use DBT (dialectical behavior therapy), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, to teach you how to be present in the moment. Mindfulness teaches you how to be present in your life; When you understand that your thoughts influence your feelings which then influence behavior, you can begin to make positive changes in your life.

Struggling with anger can be isolating and overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate this journey alone. We specialize in helping individuals manage their anger in healthy and constructive ways. Through our compassionate and personalized approach, we work together to explore the root causes of your anger, develop coping strategies, and cultivate emotional regulation skills. Our goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can understand your anger triggers, express yourself authentically, and learn how to respond effectively in challenging situations. You deserve to live a life free from the grip of anger, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

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.
