Anger Management and Counseling in Bowling Green, FL.

When we believe we have been wronged, we feel entitled to our anger. But, there are many benefits to gain from being able to manage your anger well. First of all, uncontrolled anger results in poor decision making. Thus, learning to manage your anger will improve your judgment and avoid the negative consequences of impulsive actions. Moreover, learning to control your anger, helps you avoid situations that would otherwise become very stressful. It also helps you avoid conflict with co-workers, family members, parents and children.

As a culture, we do not do well with healthy expressions of anger. Often we are raised to suppress it and then we have limited practice at dealing with big emotion. There is a spectrum of healthy aggression- to keep us safe and to maintain boundaries- and rage- our body's strategy for safety. Anger management is about applying the right "dosing" to maintain boundaries yet not fracture relationships or suffer other losses. I am able to help you learn to regulate your body to be able to apply the appropriate "dose" to be effective and not destructive.

Children ages 3-11display anger by acting out. This anger may be due to other underlying issues, such as depression. I use client-centered play therapy in a safe environment, enabling the child to express his/her emotions and thoughts through play. Play Therapy uses play, a child's natural medium of expression, to help them express their feelings more easily through toys instead of words.

We all know what anger is, and we've all felt it; whether it's felt as a temporary annoyance or as an outright rage. Anger is a completely normal & usually healthy human emotion. It's a natural, adaptive response that incites powerful feelings & behaviors. Therefore, a certain amount of anger is necessary to our survival. But here's the catch: When anger gets out of control and becomes aggressive and/or destructive, it can lead to problems at work, in relationships, and even with your health. My goal is to help you gain control over your anger BEFORE it controls you. With professional help, you CAN learn to express your anger in assertive, healthy, & non-aggressive ways.

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.
