Anger Management and Counseling in Redmond, WA.

I do not provide "Anger Management" therapy in the sense of someone having persistent and extreme levels of anger requiring specialized treatment. I do, however, work with anger or irritability in the context of my niches. Anger and irritability are understandable when you are a therapist suffering under the weight of systemic burnout in unsupportive agency settings, processing past trauma, and dealing with stigma and discrimination as a LGBTQIA+ or large-bodied person. It is important to not suppress that anger and find ways to process and channel it in healthy ways.

Anger is one of the most misunderstood emotions that can results in destruction of self, relationships, career, and life satisfaction. It doesn't have to though.

Anger is often the result of feeling powerless and/or hurt. 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 and learning to assert them is the first step toward managing and understanding anger.

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.

Anger is a natural reaction but do you feel your anger leads to emotional dysregulation that affects your relaitonships? I do not judge you based on your anger. I simply provide an empathetic ear to your situation as well as give you context to help you through situations where you may be reacting to your anger. Oftentimes, we get angry in a situation but are unaware or afraid to tap into the primary emotions that stir the anger. Feelings of abandonment, emptiness, fear, and hurt that lie below the secondary emotion of anger can be processed.

When someone is angry, there's often a belief that something wrong is happening that must be corrected and the way to get someone's attention to correct it is with a loud voice and/or harsh words.

When the anger is grounded in the past, Dr. Roedel helps clients safely express their hurt and find ways to release resentments so they can move forward.
