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 often the result of feeling powerless. It can also be the result of not having well defined boundaries or the inability to effectively convey one's boundaries to others. The majority of my clients with anger issues have never experienced the healthy middle ground of assertiveness. Many experience the other two ends of the spectrum which are passivity or extreme anger. Becoming aware of one's feelings and one's boundaries is the first step toward managing and understanding anger.

Roots of your anger can from a myriad of places. Therapy can help identify these triggers for anger. We can then explore how your can use constructive responses rather than ineffective or destructive reactions. We're not talking about stifling your feelings here. We're talking about examining your triggers for anger, finding new ways to perceive situations, and developing constructive ways to express yourself. Not because someone wants you to change your behavior but because it is in YOUR best interest to be most effective in your approach. You can do this!

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.

If you are angry, or told you are angry, or respond to situations with attached anger, chances are you need to discover a better way to deal with the issues that are causing this reaction.

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? Does the anger seem to help you focus, feel a sense of control or strength, but then leave you isolated and alienated from others? 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.
