Anger Management and Counseling in Florence, NJ.

Anger is a normal feeling that all people experience. The trouble is often when anger leads to aggression or destructive BEHAVIOR. Often anger issues have dramatic costs including in relationships, at work/school, legal issues, and others. Often anger covers underlying emotions that drive anger including sadness, frustration, feeling disrespected, and shame/guilt to name a few. I help my clients understand their anger issues and learn new adaptive ways to cope with this emotion.

Are you struggling with anger? Do you have outbursts & regret them? Do you stuff your anger & then take it out on someone? Is anger tearing apart you or your relationships? Are you worried how it will affect your kids? You are not alone. The good news is you can learn how to control your anger & still express yourself. You'll learn skills, understand where it comes from, and know how to express it in a healthy manner. Anger is a signal that you can listen to and learn from without destroying yourself or others.

We will explore the meaning and causes of anger issues to help you understand your feelings and regulate your emotions to help you lead a fuller life. By looking at where you came from, where you are, and where you are going, we can progress through a plan to help you feel more in control of your life. This involves looking at your life in new ways.

Struggling to control anger can affect your relationships, career, and overall well-being—but it doesn’t have to.

Through proven techniques, we’ll work together to improve emotional regulation, enhance communication skills, and foster a sense of calm. Let us help you regain control and build stronger, more positive connections with those around you.

Our anger management approach goes beyond identifying triggers and offering alternative ways to vent. While these are important, we delve deeper into the root causes of your intense emotions. Anchored in a psychodynamic therapy model, we guide you through self-exploration to understand why anger exists in the first place. This deeper understanding aims to reduce the anger's intensity, giving you greater control over your emotional life. By doing so, we help you navigate momentary flare-ups and contribute to long-term emotional stability and improved relationships. Our holistic approach gives you the skills to move through life less reactive and more at peace.

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.

The teenage years can be filled with irritability, aggression, and mood swings. In therapy, your teen will learn about anger, its uses, its consequences, and how to manage it. Your teen will identify their triggers and create a plan to increase their distress tolerance. With practice, they will recognize the physical and emotional warning signs of their impending outbursts and they will engage in healthy responses to regulate their emotions. Whether it is through grounding techniques, or removing themselves from the environment entirely, your teen will learn that it is okay to feel strong emotions and that they have the ability to channel those emotions into productive and healthy actions.

This is an area that is vital to understand and know how to manage in order to have a healthy, compatible relationship. Not knowing how to reduce anger and handle it can sabotage a couple’s ability to communicate and get along on many levels. Anger unchecked, can destroy relationships and sometimes lead to violence. Over the years I have developed many techniques to help people reduce their anger, and have taught them how to communicate with their partner effectively.
