Anger Management and Counseling in White Lake, MI.

I am a psychotherapist who understands life can feel like a daily struggle. No one should have to endure these feelings alone. I compassionately listen and support clients as well as offer a therapeutic relationship that provides clients the opportunity to emotionally move forward and bring a healthy balance back into their lives. Counseling empowers clients to gain healthy coping skills, experience self care and process new ways to work through personal difficulties. Understanding feelings behind anger allow clients to feel more relaxed, have increased energy, feel less stressed, become motivated, experience satisfaction in relationships, and cope with difficulties in life easier.

Anger Management is an important tool to have in all aspects of your life. Some people run away from their anger and others can become aggressive and violent with their anger. In working on this issue, we would need to find out where your anger stems from and where you learned to deal with your anger in negative ways. People often confuse aggression with assertiveness. One does not have to be aggressive when one is assertive. Learning the difference is very important, just as learning that you don't have make others feel like less for you to feel whole. I can help you learn strategies to make changes to have healthier relationships and communications.

Our therapists utilize psychological therapeutic techniques by which someone with excessive or uncontrollable anger and aggression can control or reduce the triggers, degrees, and effects of an angered emotional state. Anger management techniques include relaxation techniques, cognitive restructuring, problem solving, and improving communication strategies.

Anger management therapy has proven to be effective for many people. It can help you learn how to express your feelings in a healthy way, cope with stress more effectively, improve your relationships, and prevent unhealthy behaviors like misusing drugs or alcohol. If you have recently found yourself struggling with anger issues, you can learn better anger management skills through individual anger management therapy programs in Michigan.

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 will tell people that our feelings have a way of being heard, whether we want them to or not! You might try to deny your anger or to bury it deep within yourself, but it will almost always find a way to express itself! And really, anger is NOT your enemy, though it might feel that way now. Anger has a place and a purpose in your life, but not if you're using it as a weapon against yourself or your loved ones. You can learn to cope with it so it's not a destructive force in your life! I like to teach people ways to more effectively manage their emotions, and then we can explore where the anger is coming from to try and resolve some of those issues as well.
