Anger Management and Counseling in St Pete Beach, FL.

Have you ever found yourself facing moments of intense anger, unsure of how to channel this powerful emotion? You're not alone. Uncontrolled anger can cast a shadow over various aspects of life, affecting relationships, career opportunities, and your overall well-being. Though I do not run anger management groups or participate in court-ordered therapy, I do work with individuals who are wanting to understand what fuels their anger. Imagine a life where the energy once consumed by anger becomes a catalyst for positive loving change. By learning to navigate the complexities of this emotion, you can enhance relationships, boost your career prospects, and create a more fulfilling life overall.

Anger gets a bad rap. Others focus so much on the anger that they don’t understand the pain, triggers, and trauma that often exists just under the surface. If given the honor of working with you, I’ll not only give you tools to manage the anger, but help you get to the root cause of where it’s coming from in the first place and help it to heal.

We help our clients to have greater understanding of themselves and their interactions with others to improve the quality of their relationships. We utilize mindfulness, self-exploration, and self-soothing techniques to help improve clients' emotional regulation skills. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, EMDR or ART, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Existential Therapy are especially helpful for healing trauma and improving interpersonal interactions with others.

Anger is perhaps the most difficult emotion for people to regulate in a healthy way. Most people are not brought up with good role models or effective coping skills to deal with anger. A big part of treatment of anger management has to with emotional regulation. This means helping the client recognize their emotional state proactively and rehearsing alternative behaviors that are non-destructive.

Having anger issues can make you feel like you are not in control of your own emotions. This may make you feel frustrated or ashamed and can make it difficult to admit that you need help. I'm glad that you did reach out for help with your anger issues. I'm here to offer you help with no judgment, in order to get back to a place where you feel empowered and in control of your emotions and reactions.

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 one of the emotions that is often so misunderstood and seen as scary. Sometimes it can lead to people who experience anger being afraid to let others know because they fear judgement or being misunderstood. Often is is just as treatable as anxiety or depression. Understanding our emotions and how to regulate them is key and when we can lean in without judgment to observe the emotions as a curious scientist than solutions become possible. At KML, we focus on DBT heavily when it comes to understanding anxiety and learning new ways to manage it. We also first always ensure yours and others safety and develop a plan if needed. We will not judge you and are here to help you change!

I offer skills training to help individuals learn to be assertive rather than passive or aggressive. We will utilize scenarios and rehearse more effective ways of dealing with other people's anger and your own anger. We live in a fast paced, complex, multi faceted society with many stressors coming at us from poor driver's to rude service people. There are many opportunities every day to allow ourselves to express anger inappropriately. My goal is to help individuals learn effective coping strategies and ways to express & deal with anger appropriately. But also, behind anger is usually a lot of pain or hurt. It is important to learn the source of that pain.

This ministry is successful in bringing you deliverance, healing and peace from the removal of your anger/rage and restoring you to relationships and your fellowship with God. Do not wait.

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.

I often coach men on how to better regulate their emotions, including anger. I can teach you strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, provide relationship insights from the Gottman Method, and help you practice calming strategies to take control back. You might have every right to be angry. But if it’s making things worse, it’s time for a change. At Lion Counseling, our mission is to help you escape the cages that hold you back and become the lion God created you to be.
