Anger Management and Counseling in Seattle, WA.

Anger can become a habit that is developed over the years. You may have grown up in a household where angry outbursts were common. Let me help you develop strategies to calm your anger and choose healthy forms of communication. I can help you get to know the signs that your anger is becoming detrimental to your health and your relationships. Becoming angry is exhausting. Let me help.

Anger can be surprising, it can be always just under the surface, it can be incredibly important, and it can be so very damaging. It can well up, explode, simmer and often hurt those closest to us. Your anger isn't a bad thing- learn how to work with it in a way that is productive. I offer a hand in the journey of learning to listen to, express, and how to hold your anger.

Maybe you've noticed your temper. Or maybe a friend or family member has told you that your temper gets in the way of an ideal relationship. Or maybe everyone around you seems to be angry and you can't understand why. Regardless of the case, anger is real. And it's informative. With my help, we can figure out what your anger is trying to get you to do and what needs to change in your life or in you so you can be more fulfilled.

It is normal to experience anger and it can often be an effective way to relieve stress. However, if your anger is experienced more often than not, or if it is interfering with having satisfying relationships with others, it may be time to seek some assistance. I can help you identify what is causing your anger and help you learning coping skills that will be more beneficial than anger.

So many things in life tell us not to be angry, yet we feel like screaming or hitting. There are endless emotions wrapped up in our anger and there are roots to every emotion. When we begin to unpack all those feelings and find out where they originate in our life, our anger begins to make more sense and we are able to begin to make peace with areas of our life that are excessively anger provoking.

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.

Do you find yourself constantly simmering in a low-grade state of frustration, or perhaps suddenly taken over by a deep rage that can feel out of your control?

There are important reasons why anger seems to take on a life of its own in you, and uncovering those reasons in a safe and compassionate (and patient) space is an important and freeing process. Finding ways to self-regulate and manage your responses to others while staying with your truth and honoring your emotional and mental experience is also key to the work we will do together.
