Anger Management and Counseling in Statesville, NC.

My approach to anger management is to help the person decrease their hightened emotional and psychological arousal in order to deal with the anger. Together, we find the root of the anger, set distinct guidelines in dealing with the anger and develop a solid plan to effectively manage the anger. In each step of managing the anger there are key elements to educate the person and find a solution. Everyone gets angry but it is how we deal with this natural emotion.

Anger is often a misunderstood emotion and often looked at as more negative than positive. In applying cognitive behavioral approaches to developing a healthy use and control of anger, therapy will support you in not suppressing anger but recognizing the difference between healthy and unhealthy anger and regaining your mastery over this complex emotion. Often this leads to overall better self understanding and increased confidence as well as improved personal and professional relationships.

Anger issues often involve very deep roots. Hurst, fears and frustration often are the "seeds" of open anger. If one can understand what grows apparent anger then goals can be set to work through the "seeds" until each one is pruned. We do not merely want to skim over the anger issues but to dig deep and pull up by the roots. Many people feel such a heavy burden lifted when they are able to forgive pains from the present and past.
