Anger Management and Counselling in Markham, ON.

Anger is a common, I'd say necessary function, for it helps us right wrongs, & protect ourselves and others. Like the saying goes, "Good fences make good neighbours", and anger is the energy to make such fences. Sometimes though, anger can seem out of control, or inapropriate. I help you to understand your anger, and to use it constructively for bettering your life, and the lives of others.

At times anger, Gandhi called it "Righteous Indignation," is necessary to respond to injustices or inappropriate behaviours.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) also called Tapping, along with skillful use of affirmations can help to cool the fires of anger. The benefits of anger management lead to a regulating of emotions and thus a gaining of peace of mind, positive relationships, career and family security.
