Anger Management and Counseling in Battle Ground, IN.

Anger can destroy relationships, cause problems at work, and teach your children to also be angry. I have an evidenced based anger management program to help you learn how to control your anger, as well as find its root cause. Anger is never the primary feeling. The anger management program helps the client to discover the true feelings that are causing the anger. Once the true feelings are addressed, then I am able to help the client find ways to more appropriately express these feelings.

Anger is a symptom of a deeper issue that has not been identified or resolved.. Counseling can provide a safe place to uncover unresolved hurts and pain and gain insight to the anger. Anger management helps clients understand unhealthy boundriex versus healthy boundaries and the reason boundaries are crossed. Counseling allows clients to gain knowledge and tools that can foster self-control, self-worth, and self/esteem.

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.

We use a Dialectical Behavioral approach to therapy in treating anger and other strong emotions. Anger often comes as a result of feeling invalidated. People often struggle with feelings of anger after being misunderstood or dismissed. Our therapist can teach you skills to manage your emotions and behaviors. We offer E-services to Minnesota and Indiana; and in-office services to the Hinckley, MN and Dultuh, MN areas.
