Anger Management and Counseling in Scranton, PA.

Famous quote, He who angers me, conquers me. I try to live by this thought. Anger can destroy you and keep you stuck. I can offer you a safe place to discuss what is causing anger and learn techniques to remain calm in stressful situations. Feeling angry is a normal response but the behaviors and actions that follow may be destructive and need to be corrected. I can help.

Most people with anger control problems hate themselves for it. They often promise themselves to do better but then feel like situations get the better of them. They often feel misunderstood, under appreciated and somewhat disconnected from the relationships that matter the most to them. There are so many different causes for this. That is why the first step is to do a caring and thorough evaluation. In any treatment worth it's salt, a person first feels understood. Much of the time I find that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), together with interventions from positive psychology, can significantly help people to act with intention, which can often feel like being reborn.

Anger is an emotion that can influence your health in a negative manner on several levels; physically, emotionally and spiritually. Getting your anger under control can require learning some basic behavior modifications. One important element that can make a great difference is to THINK before you speak or react. You are an intelligent individual and can learn to choose options to express your concerns in positive and more productive ways. Therapist Harlene Arenberg from Scranton, Pennsylvania (18505) is always ready to help you and is currently available for anger management counseling sessions.

Anger is a perfectly normal, human response. In fact, it's actually a built in survival mechanism in humans. Disproportionate and uncontrollable anger, however, can be harmful to oneself and others. Our approach to Anger Management focuses on learning to recognize anger triggers, including both negative thought patterns and external stimuli. Our anger management clients have learned skills to calm themselves when angry, as well as healthy way to express anger.

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.
