Anger Management and Counseling in Evergreen, CO.

Angry people tend to demand things, whether it's fairness, appreciation, agreement, or just the willingness to do things their way. We are all hurt, disappointed, and frustrated when we don't get what we want, but don't let disappointment turn into anger. Some people use anger as a way to avoid feeling hurt, but that doesn't make the hurt go away. In my practice I teach clients the skills needed to restructure their overly dramatic thoughts into thoughts that are more reasonable. For instance, it's natural to get defensive when you're criticized, but don't fight back. Instead, listen to what's beneath the words. Perhaps the real message is that your partner feels neglected and unloved.

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.

Anger can come from a few different things; your boundaries aren't being respected, a catalyzing energy telling you that things need to change, or old wounds from childhood getting touched by current interactions with others. Anger is a signal to you to reclaim your personal power; a fire giving you the fuel you need to create change. I'm here to help you get to the root of the anger and to self-regulate through anger and other difficult emotions, so you can show up as more calm and grounded in your life.
