Anger Management and Counselling in Bedford, NS.

Therapy for anger management is more than simply learning coping skills to control angry and sometimes aggressive impulses--although they are important. Anger is typically a secondary emotional response to something else, something much deeper that is working its way out through anger causing problems at work, school, play, and in relationships with family, friends, neighbours, and strangers. I can help you explore and process the underlying thoughts and feelings and find a place of calm and clear communication.

Anger can be used to inspire change, motivate achievement, and promote survival. However, it can also keep us from becoming the best version of ourselves and/or leave us filled with regret and a decrease in self-esteem. The consequences of unleashing anger can influence the course of our lives. When anger becomes detrimental to well-being, it is time to reset the thermostat. Liz believes this can be accomplished by approaching anger from different perspectives: exploring the sources, reframing mindsets, developing response skills, and building coping strategies. Generating growth in these areas can increase self-awareness, strengthen self-regulation, and empower meaningful pursuits.

Are there moments where you feel overwhelmed by anger, and do these moments impact your work, relationships, or daily life? I am here to help you and provide a safe space where you can process the underlying causes of anger, recognize its triggers, and develop healthier ways to express and cope with anger that can restore balance and harmony in your relationships and daily life.

During this exploration we will create a place of safety so that you feel comfortable in talking about "the anger" and what it is doing to your life.
