Anger is said to be a secondary emotion and yet it is so prevalent in many of our lives. People struggling with Anger and the havoc that it causes in ones life can be destructive to an individual or family system. Individuals will look at the differences between rational and irrational thought. Identify for themselves what happens to their body that sends the message they are angry before doing something they regret. They will learn different coping strategies to manage the intensity of their emotions so that anger no longer rules their life.

In my practice I help clients explore, in a safe environment, the source of their anger. I supply various tools to help when anger emerges that allow alternative strategies to deal with every day life stresses and people. Having tools promotes healthy personal relationships and a happier more satisfying, sucessful life. Venues such as spirituality, meditation, writing and continuing with counseling when needed. This is a safe place for compassion and understanding.

Does your anger seem out of control? Is it causing you to regret your actions or the hurt you caused to those around you? Anger is a normal and powerful emotion that everyone experiences. Learning how to express this emotion can be challenging, even when it is justified. However, identifying factors that trigger your anger is an important step in finding the balance and learning how to control your reactions. Together we can develop strategies specific to your triggers and help you find tools which in turn will help you to live a more healthy and productive life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can be very beneficial for helping to control your anger through the use of relaxation techniques, stress-coping thoughts for anger, identifying and changing thought patterns and more. You will learn to be more aware of internal body cues and find healthier ways of releasing stress and tension that build up to trigger your anger.

Erupting and lashing out to relieve your pain creates disruption in your everyday life. While anger is a healthy emotion, lashing out and rage creates guilt and relationship destruction. In my 30+ years of clinical practice, I have provided my clients with a non-judgemental safe environment so together we can build a trust where they can be open and honest without embarrassment or shame. In letting down their defenses and acknowledging their behavior, my clients learn how to emotionally regulate their pain by taking ownership and removing themselves from the current situation, which gives them space to provide a more regulated and healthy response.

I work with the client in regards to current anger, past history of anger, and family history of anger. I work with the client to identify current stress, and to especially identify emotions including sadness, fear, confusion, and to identify coping skills to either work with family members, a boss, or co-workers. I feel that improving communication skills, problem solving skills, and developing a strong support network are vital to better understand and work regarding anger in a healthy, non-threatening way.

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.

Anger is both a natural and necessary emotion. It is a vital part of our preservation instinct. But when your anger causes troubles--say at work, in relationships, to your health-- it becomes critical that you develop new ways to address anger: methods that help decrease how frequently or intensely you get angry, and that lead to more effective responses to anger. Dr. Goldstein addresses anger from a realistic, practical perspective that can help you enjoy a healthier, more constructive approach to your life in the face of anger.

Together we will look at where the anger is truly coming from. We will look at past family patterns that may have handed this down to you. We will look at your current situation and see perhaps who you are really angry at. Sometimes it is not who or what you think. We will work on tactics to release your angry in a healthy manner and see what is under the anger.

Anger is an emotion that we all have. Sometimes it may even seem justified, but that's not the point. It's how we react to our anger that matters. When we get angry, a certain part of the brain gets activated and takes over. This causes a chemical reaction in our bodies that prepares us for 'fight or flight.' The thinking, rational part of the brain shuts down. That is why we sometimes regret our actions once we calm down. Because the thinking part of the brain reactivates and we become more rational.
