Anger Management and Counseling in Snoqualmie, WA.

You've tried anger management and coping skills, but they rarely work well, especially when we're in the midst of conflict. That's because when your anger gets "triggered," your ability to access coping skills is greatly inhibited, your fight or flight response is activated, and you explode in anger. Did you know it's not your fault? You didn't choose to get triggered, did you? It's not your fault that you have a brain that evolved to keep you safe at any cost, is it? We can help this part of your brain recognize the difference between real or perceived threat, allowing you to respond appropriately. We no longer have to rely solely on coping skills to manage.

Have you ever found yourself in a rage and been told that you're overreacting? Do you often feel angry and have to exert immense control to keep that anger in check? Anger can be a consuming, destructive, and terrifying feeling, both for you and for those around you. But anger is not inherently bad. I work with clients who want to learn how manage their anger better. I help clients to develop a relationship with their anger so that anger can be a guide and a tool for them. This helps them to improve their sense of self, their confidence, and their relationships. If you think you could benefit from learning new ways to think, feel, and express anger, please reach out today.

If you are in relationship with an angry partner, therapy can help! Understanding and learning how to set boundaries and communicate in a way that your partner can hear is important. Often when we grow up in angry families we can end up in relationships that mirror our childhood. I can teach you ways to be authentic, use your voice, and stay safe. If you find yourself getting angry and you want to find other tools and strategies to express yourself I can help.

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.

For children with aggressive behavior or anger management issues, it could be difficult for parents to handle. Some of the child’s aggressive behavior could be the side effect of medication, and some are in the process of learning better strategies to deal with frustration and scared feelings. No matter what stage your child is in, I am here to facilitate you and your child to overcome the uncontrollable emotions. Through anger management therapy, it is possible that your child can rebuild a better self-identity and higher self-value.

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.

When you cross a line in expressing your anger, you face consequences you may not have thought about in the heat of the moment. Perhaps you have developed a pattern of acting out your anger in inappropriate ways. This needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. If you have been told you have anger management problems, get help now so that you will not lose valuable relationships. You may call me at 425 652-1413 to set up an appointment.
