Anger Management and Counseling in Parkland, FL.

Understanding anger is crucial to being able to control it, redirect and sometimes honor it. Learning the difference between Assertive , Aggressive and Passive- Aggressive is key to owning and changing behavior. Constructive, considerate communication skills will help in all relationships; work, love and family. I work with individuals , couples, and groups.

Anger is a secondary emotions; as such I believe one needs to become aware of the underline emotions and what is feeding it. Anger management involves a strategy to explore the meaning of the anger to the individual and their relationship. Understanding anger co-existing as systems of relationships or relational behaviors that one has the power to manage. Client assess for strengths unique to their lifestyle and experiences, which they have successfully used for anger management. Intertwined with the clients' strengths and suggestibility processed in therapy, the client determines what techniques will best be embraced to manage his/her anger. Client is encouraged to use what works and grow.

I don’t believe in Anger Management. Instead, I believe in getting rid of anger (Anger Resolution). Most of us learn how and when to be angry as children and continue to react the same way as adults. I work with you to eliminate anger by lowering reactivity and by helping you to explore new, more personally beneficial ways to respond to potentially rageful situations. No matter how angry you are, if you are coming to see me because you (or a loved one) feel that you need help with anger, I can help you. I am certified in Anger Resolution and I use many different techniques to lower your reactivity and help you eliminate rage--and not one of them includes counting to 10!

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.

I often coach men on how to better regulate their emotions, including anger.

You might have every right to be angry. But if it’s making things worse, it’s time for a change.

Counseling will help the clients to recognize their thinking patterns and behaviors linked to their anger, while empowering them to change them in order to be free from their anger.

We live in a society in which it is far more acceptable to express anger than it is to express feelings of loneliness and self-doubt. I find that anger is usually a response to a deeper emotional experience that we do not fully understand. The goal of this type of work is help clients to identify primary emotions, understand their function and express them in a more healthy way. DBT is a great way to help clients understand how to regulate emotions and develop a more mindful relationship to them. Once we develop these skills, we begin to learn the early signs of an unmet emotional need and the ways to manage it effectively.

Our approach goes beyond merely teaching patients coping mechanisms and skillful thinking. Through hypnotherapy, we address anger at its core, targeting the root causes to eliminate the triggers that lead to anger reactions. By delving into the subconscious mind, we aim to uncover and resolve underlying issues, fostering lasting emotional healing and a reduction in anger-related symptoms.

Why do we get angry? Are we able to recognize our anger rather than deny it? Once we become aware of our anger and the problems it is creating in our life and in our relationships what do we do about it?These are the questions we help you answer and work through here at Gateway. Remember anger is a secondary emotion, meaning some other emotion is behind the anger. This emotion is often in the subconscious level of your life. Don't spend your life mad at the world and leave ruined relationships in your wake. Anger left alone only gets worse. The sooner you reach out for help the better.

Anger can be a powerful emotion, but when it feels overwhelming or out of control, it can disrupt your life and relationships. My approach to anger management is focused on understanding the root causes of your anger, identifying triggers, and developing practical strategies to respond in healthier ways. Together, we’ll create a supportive space to explore your emotions, build self-awareness, and learn techniques to manage anger constructively. You’ll gain tools to foster better communication, reduce conflict, and regain control.

Almost everyone acts in ways that seem to make sense to them, and to serve their needs and wishes. My approach to anger management is to supply strategies that better enable people to see that excess anger does not make sense, and does not serve their their needs and wishes. Indeed, it usually sabotages their progress to attain their goals. From there, people quite naturally alter their behavior so as to help themselves. It is neither necessary nor desirable for me to attempt to change their behavior, because they will almost always do what makes sense to them.

Anger management counseling can help to identify stressors and learn the steps to stay calm in the face of anger. The goal is to handle tense situations in more constructive and positive ways by reducing the emotional and physical arousal that anger can cause. It will provide the tools to take back your life and resolve the triggers that result in unplanned anger reactions.

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.

Men often express anger when they feel hurt or demeaned in some way. A man may misinterpret comments or remarks, however, and become upset as he is triggered by the meaning he assigns to them. We all get angry at times. Anger is like any other emotion, useful when expressed appropriately. Some of us, however, have an anger problem. I can help you learn how to control the anger you feel. I will teach you how to become aware of your automatic thoughts and how they have controlled you in the past. You will learn how to anticipate your "triggers" and control your responses to them.

I have worked with many clients that express intense anger and my experience has led me to conclude that anger is just the tip of a complicated iceberg that has a history and reason to exist. Anger typically pushes people away and protects the person who is feeling it or holding onto to it from getting hurt again. I encourage my clients to share their anger with me and take an inquisitive approach into understanding the history and complexity of this feeling. Once the feeling is understood it is more simple to tame, and control the emotion.

Anger is one of the your emotions, and it is quite alright to feel angry. Different degrees of anger exist. When it comes with anger, it is how you express your anger that makes a difference. Is your anger bad for your relationship or destructive at work? Do you find that you express your anger in aggressive ways? Do you respond to others in passive-aggressive manner? Can you expressive yourself in a healthy, assertive manner? Come and let me help you manage anger in a more serene manner.

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.
