Anger can be a healthy response to negative treatment or events. We’ve all gotten angry and it can help to communicate to others that we’re not okay with something. In fact, not having the ability to feel anger is a whole other issue. However, for some people, uncontrollable, overly frequent or inappropriate expressions of anger can damage relationships, career success or more. Shift Psychological can help the anger management process by identifying and treating the origins of the anger – the messages about self and the world that cause it. Then, using our unique approach we remove them. This results in an absence of reaction and an appropriate level of calm.

It may look like anger or anger outbursts or aggressive behavior. However, exploring what is underneath your anger can be extremely helpful in understanding where your anger comes from.

Anger management problems emerge from a social system where both genders are taught that expression of anger is inappropriate. Anger is one of seven basic human emotions and is in no way dangerous, unfeminine, or taboo. Explosive anger typically emerges when people attempt to keep their anger from others, holding it inside until they can no longer contain it. My approach is to model and practice graded expression of anger, and to help people modify the point(s) of view from which anger is seen to emerge.

Anger is a complex emotion because it can occur for a variety of reasons and sometimes it's tough to tell why you feel angry in a given moment. Managing your anger involves understanding not only the situational events that triggers it but also the underlying emotions that end up being expressed as anger. This involves taking a closer look at other feelings (primary emotions) and learning how to cope with them so that they don't present as anger, which is a secondary emotion.

While anger can often temporarily solve our problems, very quickly it can begin to separate us from what we actually desire. This might look like a rift in our relationships, frustration at work, difficulty keeping friends and loved ones, feeling distant from those we care about, or even being misunderstood. We might then want to get rid of our anger, however, this often is not helpful. Anger exists for a reason, and sometimes we need some assistance in figuring this out. By working together we can often sort out our anger and gain understanding and focus for our future.

A response to life's events falls upon a continuum from neutral to highly-reactive.

Anger is a very normal natural reaction to situations that may cause disappointment, hurt, frustration, sadness, confusion, shame or other negative emotions. Yet, for many people anger is an extremely uncomfortable and confusing emotion. Uncontrolled anger can make you feel as though you're at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion. Each individual is unique in their origin and type of anger, so the first step towards anger management is uncovering the secret of your unique anger which will put you on the right road towards developing methods to conguer it.

My approach as a therapist is client-centred, solution-focused, and relationship based. I believe you are the expert in your own life. Therapy can provide a space to explore life challenges, so you can create new meanings, hope and new beginnings. The alliance we form together in therapy can assist you to work through presenting issues, helping you to work toward reaching your individual potential. Based on the unique needs of the individual, I incorporate evidence-based therapy techniques into sessions such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

Managing anger means managing your need to have things your way even if your way seems reasonable to you. It means questioning your sense of entitlement to having your way. Anger can be a strong communication to others that what one is angry about really matters. As an initial response it can be a powerful impetus to change but unless one takes some kind of action following the anger it will only serve to reinforce a sense of powerlessness. Anger can be a way to impose ones will. Sometimes people learn that this works in the short term but in the long term it never really does.

Many of us have not been taught the tools and strategies that are needed to manage anger in a healthy and appropriate manner. While anger is a natural emotion, which can serve as a helpful signal that something is "just not right," it is often handled in a poor manner. I help people to see the maladaptive patterns and strategies they have been using to express their anger, and then replace these with healthier ones. We also work to unload built up frustration, resentment, and hurt, which often reaches a "breaking point" and needs to be resolved so that it does not come out as uncontrolled anger. By doing this, clients can reach a more peaceful place, and will come to see anger in a new way.

The first step to changing anger is becoming increasingly aware of it. Through awareness, we will begin to find ways to interrupt the cycle of anger and move you towards emotional regulation that will help you. It will help to improve your relationship with others and even yourself. You will find a sense of relief in being able to remain more calm, more of the time.

I will use an integrative approach, tailored to suit your needs, experiences, and personal circumstances, in order to deal with you anger on a positive way. Together we will find and employ the most appropriate techniques that will help you menage your anger and tame your tamper. By doing so, your anger will again become just a normal, healthy, human emotion; not a problem.
