Anger Management and Counselling in Wembley, AB.

Ever heard of the fight-flight-freeze reflex? This occurs when an organism mobilizes to neutralize or move away from a perceived threat. Circulation is constricted, heart rate increases, and muscles become tense and ready to act. The logical, social and more evolved part of the brain shuts down while the primitive regions become more active. We can't think straight because our bodies say it's action time. Sound familiar? If your anger is a problem, understanding this basic brain science is one of the first steps in learning how to manage it more effectively. Together we will explore your triggers and you will learn new, healthier ways of dealing with this reflex.

When we can learn to investigate anger, build acceptance and tolerance for uncomfortable feelings, and find ways to soothe ourselves, we can manage anger in ways that are supportive of our relationships and supportive of ourselves. Learning anger management can involve building skills in multiple areas including communication, needs identification, distress tolerance, and/or emotional regulation.
