Anger Management and Counselling in Redwater, AB.

Anger is a normal emotion and has a place in a health life. However people often find that their anger feels out of control. Learning to manage all your emotions, including your anger, is a skill that you can learn at any age. If you are feeling like your anger is creating problems in your life and relationships contact me. We can discuss how you can learn the skills to manage your anger rather than let your anger manage you.

Anger often stems from feeling so many emotions all at once. You lose a sense of control. You go from 0 to 100 in a blink of an eye. By getting angry you’re attempting to regain control that’s presumed lost. But instead, you’re full of guilt and shame. Feeling angry and reacting in anger, is simply exhausting. I’ll help you learn how to regain control, in a healthy way.

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.

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.

Anger is taboo. So when we get angry there are very few templates available to teach us how to manage it. It can have unimaginable force and scare us. What might it be capable of? The goal is to create safe conditions to explore it and find out what it is telling us. Then we can learn to express it and create conditions where we have ownership.

Anger is a commonly misunderstood emotion. It is often masking other emotions or is trying to tell you something useful but in a destructive way. I will help you to understand where your anger is rooted and address it by: teaching ways to react differently, providing coping skills, guiding you in in experiencing other emotions, processing any traumas that might be related, addressing related relationship concerns, or by using other approaches that fit your unique situation and needs.

If you are struggling with a hot temper and with controlling your anger, know that you are not alone and that it is normal to feel angry now and then. Are you finding that anger is taking over your life? Is it ruining relationships and your peace of mind? This can become very overwhelming to deal with. I can work with you to help you manage your anger. We can work together to understand where it comes from and in this process, learn to deal with it better using various techniques tailored to your unique personality and situation.

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.

My approach to anger helps individuals understand the roots of their anger - those aspects of their lives that have contributed to anger. Learning what triggers anger is key to changing and managing anger. Increasing self-awareness of triggers helps with the next step of learning new ways to respond to anger. Stress, depression, and self-esteem/confidence are often related to anger. Therefore, learning new ways to manage stress and depression can also help reduce anger. Lifestyle choices and health issues can contribute to anger. Enhancing health and well-being helps boost one's capacity to effectively manage anger.
