Anger Management and Counseling in Sharon, CT.

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.

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.

Anger Management can be a difficult thing to overcome. The first objective is to uncover where this is coming from and how you can build up the skillset to work through these feelings so you can communicate what is going on effectively. Most times people with anger issues, are impacted at home, work, school, friends, relationships, etc. You do not need to do this alone and we can get you. Contact us to get started today.

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.

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.

Clients who consult with me regarding their anger and their difficulty in controlling their impulses. experience my interest and support in helping them to both understand how their anger came to be so big as well as to help them to repair the relationships that have been hurt by their anger. They are helped to understand that their anger is frequently a response to their experience of loss of some kind and that these losses can be defined and understood. Such losses range from loss of opportunity, to loss of money, to loss of a relationship. to loss of self-esteem.

Anger can permeate all aspects of our lives. Learning the tools to diffuse anger will allow you to live a healthier happier life. Together, we will source the anger, recognize where is stems from, notice it, and begin to heal the wounds that cause the anger flare up allowing you to respond in a meaningful way in place of an instance reaction to your stressors.

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.

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.
