Anger Management and Counseling in Vernon, CT.

My therapy approach is well suited to anger management because all emotions begin with our thoughts. I will guide you to exprience your own insights about the nature of thought and how your thinking contributes to your expeience of frustration which ultimately leads to anger. I also provide a variety of resources for you so that you feel supported while you go through the process.

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.

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.

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.

You might find yourself experiencing intense anger that is hard to manage or control. Emotionally focused therapy can help uncover the roots of where your anger is coming from, grow your ability to act on the anger differently, and be able to become more connected to yourself in the process. I will often integrate internal family systems methods and psycho-education to grow in awareness and compassion towards yourself, while also gaining new ways to cope with your anger.

On a scale of 0-10 when you are at a 4, 5 or 6 you are angry, when you are at an 8, 9 or 10 you are in a rage. Rage occurs when one upsetting event piles onto another and another, and you never have time to fully heal from any of them. Rage comes up quicker, builds stronger and lasts longer; you say and do things that you would never imagine at any other time. You see red and don’t care about your reputation, the future, the consequences or what effect it is having on your family or career. We focus on helping you to fully resolve your rage at it's root so that you can start having just normal anger - that gets your point across but doesn't do damage - like everybody else.
