Anger Management and Counselling in East York, ON.

Anger is the most common coping mechanism that is often misunderstood. Suppressing or avoiding anxiety inevitably leads to being overwhelmed and sometimes emotionally exploding. Instead of suppressing anger, a person should learn how to embrace it, be curious about it, feel it, understand it, and eventually channel it in a healthy and constructive manner. Anger comes from a sense of being misunderstood, ignored or left unsupported and the therapy should acknowledge and explore these areas.

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.

I use a combination of Narrative, Solutions Focused, and Emotion Focused therapy to help clients address the underlying pain informing feelings of anger. Clients can experience anger getting the way of important relationships or preferred outcomes. Sometimes anger has been an adaptive and helpful response for clients in the past, and one that they want to choose to live with and respond to a little differently now. I aim to help you understand the causes and subsequent triggers in order to better respond when these feelings arise. Book a consult to see if we would be the right fit.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is proven to be effective in managing mood such as anger. Using CBT and other helpful interventions, I can assist you to manage your anger. The goal is not to get rid of all anger, the goal is to manage and tame anger. If we can't control our anger, it can cause serious health issues, ruin relationships and careers, get you into trouble with the law, etc. I have developed an anger management workbook that can systematically guide you in your journey of recovery. You will feel a great sense of control and calmness.

Anger is a common and useful emotional reaction. However, there are times when anger is excessive or extreme and controls a person to the point that it is hurtful to them, their life, and their loved ones. I work with clients to understand their experience of anger, learn to identify potential triggers and underlying issues, and develop coping skills to manage these issues and emotions. Clients will learn relaxation or calming strategies, how to communicate to reduce angry outbursts, problem solving skills, and how to alter negative thinking which may be contributing to the anger. This often results in clients feeling happier, more relaxed, and having improved relationships.

Please note we do provide structured 8-16 session anger management programs if required. If this is court ordered, please have your attorney contact us to discuss the requirements for your case. We approach anger as a symptom of something deeper, and work with you to explore triggers, reactions, and the deeper roots surrounding them. We start with a thorough assessment of your history and relationship to anger to ensure we can deliver interventions and care that takes your unique circumstances into account.

Emotion regulation difficulties, including anger, frustration, irritation and other high intensity emotions can feel overwhelming and cause challenges in our lives and our relationships. We can also struggle with anger towards ourselves. I provide effective skills to manage these strong emotions in a healthier way, reassess and balance the thoughts behind them and change behaviours towards improving relationships with others and with one self.

We will all experience anger at times. Anger it is a perfectly healty emotion - it is how we deal with it that counts. For some of us anger can turn into a rage or aggression, for others can be more inward directed. Under the influence of anger we can end up behaving in ways that create great difficulties in our relationships and life in general. It can lead to broken connections, difficulty at work, road rage or even conflict with the law. Together we will explore your angry habits, replace angry reactions into assertive responses, help gain control of your emotions, and improve relationships. >COURT MANDATED ANGER MANAGEMENT TREATMENT AVAILABLE<

Anger is an emotion, and like any emotion, it serves a purpose. When proportional and effectively directed, anger can motivate us to act and make changes. But when intense and expressed with fighting, swearing, and as an “explosion,” or inward toward yourself, it can lead to harm for both oneself and others. Together, we will explore the benefits of expressing anger effectively, learn how to not “bottle up” emotions, and delve into how cultural and family influences may have shaped your patterns of anger expression. Additionally, we will identify and practice skills, including mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Anger is a primal force of rage, igniting conflict and turmoil. It is a potent emotion, fueled by frustration, injustice, and wounded pride. Anger can be a double-edged sword, empowering and destructive. It knows no boundaries, sparing neither friend nor foe in its indiscriminate wrath. Yet beneath the surface of anger lies a wellspring of deeper emotions, hurt, fear, pain, and vulnerability, waiting to be acknowledged and understood. Through introspection, communication, assertiveness, and empathy, anger can be transformed from a destructive force into a catalyst for growth, fostering healing and reconciliation.

Anger is probably the most misunderstood of all emotions. Anger is a primary energy arising from the biological imperative for survival and self defence. This energy gets twisted and mangled as we grow up in a society where anger is often expressed violently or completely held back and hidden. We rarely learn healthy and satisfying means to express this natural and powerful force. I don't believe anger should be managed as much as to relieve the history of inhibition through mind body connection, awakening of frozen defensive responses in a safe and mutually respectful environment and teaching the body to return to an optimum state for healthy defence and self-advocating as necessary.

Anger, while a typical human emotion, can rapidly escalate into a problem when not under control. Therapy can assist you in regulating your emotions and actions, as well as in developing coping mechanisms to assist you in managing situations that trigger your rage. You can learn to settle disagreements more constructively and repair relationships damaged by anger by looking at the thoughts that cause them. You can learn relaxation techniques to assist you in calming down and relaxing your body and mind.

Nobody wants to be angry and upset themselves or others. Anger is sometimes about current issues that need to be resolved through a good action plan. Other times it is due to deeper issues that need to be worked through. Anger is often a symptom of previous upsets or issues in our lives that caused us pain in some way. We will process those upsets through discussion and unique exercises created for you as homework or to be completed in session until they are worked through.

Online Therapy Centre believes virtual counseling can be effective in helping individuals with anger management issues. Our trained therapists provide a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their feelings and emotions related to anger, and work together to develop coping strategies to manage their anger in a healthy and constructive way. Through therapy, our clients can learn to identify their triggers and avoid escalating their anger. Our therapists teach a range of coping strategies, including deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, and progressive muscle relaxation, as well as communication skills to help individuals express their feelings in a healthy way.

Anger is a completely normal, often healthy human emotion. But if it gets beyond your control, it can be very destructive in your work and interpersonal relationships and can drastically devastate the quality of your life. Fortunately, anger can be 'managed' which is very different than 'suppressing' it. Unexpressed anger leads to a host of other problems including high blood pressure. However, when we learn how to 'manage' our anger, we can learn to diminish both the emotional feelings and the physiological arousal that anger causes. We can learn to avoid triggers and develop strategies. We can learn how to problem solve, change our thinking and relax our bodies.

Anger often comes from a negative place, but for some it is an easy way to express something else that is going on inside. Especially with younger clients, anger management is really about emotion management. With so many emotions it is often difficult to know at a young age how to make sense of everything going on internally. Thus, when I speak with children and youth who are displaying anger, first I seek to discover what it is they are angry about and then help them process the issues and determine if there is really something else they are feeling. Most importantly, I also teach my clients how to recognize different emotions and deal with them effectively.

Where is your anger really coming from? Where do you feel it in your body? What sort of rage takes you over and renders you completely out of control? Anger is a complex emotion that is often misunderstood. It is actually a result of profound sadness transformed into a physical and often violent outburst. Working with anger is not just about coping with the events that bring about the response, but digging deep into the cause of the sadness and resultant anger and rushes out of you often unexpectedly. Let's work together to solve this mystery—with the dual goal to lessen the symptoms as well as to find the deeper cause.

Anger is a common emotion that can come easy to us and can feel quite powerful. Our anger can often help us identify when something doesn’t sit right with us, when we feel like our needs are not being met, or like situations pose some level of injustice towards us. However, it is what we do with this anger that can make all the difference in how we cope, experience, and navigate situations. As a therapist, I will never tell you how to express your anger, but rather I will empower you to manage it in a way that fits best for you and your life. Connect with me today for a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.

In my experience of conducting the Men's Anti-violence groups, I can help with "self-regulation" of negative and highly charged feelings of anger and resentment, both in intimate family and work-related areas. My focus is to help people with a "hot-temper" or "short-fuse" by identifying and isolating feelings that may originate and reside in negative family dynamics where "injustice" and unfairness often are at the root of such "pent-up" unexpressed feelings. Or, you were "not allowed" to express such natural and valid feelings. Effective new "habits" are learned as are ways to "control" this reflexive and impulsive behaviour. I have seen positive and healthy change come about as a result.

Feelings of anger can sometimes be more accessible and available to us in moments of hurt, disappointment or frustration. At times anger can be triggered by an event or situation and invite you to say or do things that do not align with your preferred way of being. In our work together, we can explore the origins of anger, how it impacts and influences you and how you might want to be in a relationship with anger moving forward. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit.

Anger is a normal and healthy emotion, neither good nor bad, when it’s present. Like any emotion, it conveys a message, telling you that a situation is upsetting, unjust, or threatening. However when anger is built up and disproportionate to a situation it is called rage. That means old anger that is unresolved along with a new trigger. Sometimes you may feel like it’s out of your hands and there’s little you can do to tame the beast. But you have more control over your anger than you think. With insight about the real reasons for your anger and these anger management tools, you can learn to express your emotions without hurting others and keep your temper from hijacking your life.
