Anger Management and Counselling in Memramcook, NB.

Using tools drawn from multiple researched sources, I deliver a group program focused on anger management and emotional regulation. Considering the sources of negative automatic thoughts, snap judgements, and self-criticism, we work through the whats and whys of anger to discover the difference between uncontrolled anger and regulated responses to difficult situations.

Anger is most often a secondary emotion, which means it arises out of another emotion. I work to help uncover the emotions that lie underneath anger and drive it in one's life. I encourage the client to be able to look at these emotions and thoughts that go with them. They are not the enemy. It is by opening up to what is underlying one's anger, that the anger diminishes. The path of anger can often be well worn and deeply rutted, making change difficult. When one is encouraged to move off this path through this awareness and acceptance, change happens.

Using anger management techniques are not about eliminating anger, but rather providing you with skills to better manage situations when feeling angry. This way you can recognize the early warning signs, calm yourself before you hit the red zone, and resolve conflict creatively. By staying in control of your emotions you can respond a situation calmly and confidently instead of reacting, thus becoming powerful instead of overpowering.
