Anger Management and Counseling in Gold Canyon, AZ.

I'm Josh and I am a substance abuse counselor. Being a recovering person myself who has been sober from drugs and alcohol since April 2011, I know the frustration and agitation that comes hand in hand with substance use and recovery. Many times, anger is the driving force behind substance use in the first place. Being a substance use counselor and running anger management groups in the past, I know what works and what doesn't and I look forward to being able to help you as much as possible.

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.

In my experience as an EMDR therapist, I pay close attention to the links between past and present. I’ve seen time and time again how unhealed emotional wounds resurface and come out sideways. While anger management can provide helpful strategies, they don’t get to the heart of the issue. Often, anger is what we see on the surface, but the real problem is what’s underneath the anger. Negative beliefs like “I’m helpless,” “I’m out of control,” and “I’m a failure,” start to bubble up, and anger comes to the rescue. It can get us in trouble, but at least it gets the blood pumping. With research-proven EMDR therapy, I help men heal anger at its source so it doesn’t have to be managed.

Are you struggling with anger? Do you have outbursts & regret them? Do you stuff your anger & then take it out on someone? Is anger tearing apart you or your relationships? Are you worried how it will affect your kids? You are not alone. The good news is you can learn how to control your anger & still express yourself. You'll learn skills, understand where it comes from, and know how to express it in a healthy manner. Anger is a signal that you can listen to and learn from without destroying yourself or others.

In my approach to counseling for anger and anger management, I focus on helping clients understand the underlying causes of their anger and develop healthy strategies for expressing and managing their emotions. Utilizing techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based practices, I assist clients in identifying and challenging the thought patterns that trigger their anger. By teaching practical skills for emotional regulation, stress reduction, and effective communication, I empower clients to respond to situations more calmly and constructively.

Anger is a surface emotion for many emotions. Anger is much like the “check engine light”, indicating that things need a deeper look. Jacqueline aids clients in this understanding. As well as a compassionate perspective on anger, and its importance in the healing process. Anger can have unwanted effects or consequences, sure, but when the individual looks to understand why they are getting angry it begins the healing process. Jacqueline does not accept court mandated anger therapy.

I often coach men on how to better regulate their emotions, including anger. I can teach you strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, provide relationship insights from the Gottman Method, and help you practice calming strategies to take control back. You might have every right to be angry. But if it’s making things worse, it’s time for a change. At Lion Counseling, our mission is to help you escape the cages that hold you back and become the lion God created you to be.
