Anger Management and Counselling in Tatamagouche, NS.

Is your anger out of control? Anger is a normal, healthy emotion, when we have been mistreated or wronged. Anger is not the problem – it is what you do with it that causes problems. Anger becomes a problem when we are out of control, which can result in serious consequences. Psychotherapy and counseling can help you gain insight about your explosive episodes of anger. With a deeper understanding and self-knowledge you will have personal power over your behavior and anger management skills to keep your temper from sabotaging your life. Anger management takes work, but changing sabotaging anger gets easier with commitment and practice. The payoff can be better relationships and confidence.

Anger often stems from feeling so many emotions all at once. You lose a sense of control. You go from 0 to 100 in a blink of an eye. By getting angry you’re attempting to regain control that’s presumed lost. But instead, you’re full of guilt and shame. Feeling angry and reacting in anger, is simply exhausting. I’ll help you learn how to regain control, in a healthy way.

Our anger can be a sentry, a protector and a wise indicator that our boundaries have been transgressed or that something vitally important to us is threatened. It can also be a raging tyrant, a short fuse, a simmering internalisation that off-gases through passive aggression, or a childish tantrum. Becoming intimate with our anger is synonymous with becoming intimidate with our power. In anger therapy, we will work to understand the unique way your anger process happens through somatic awareness, mindfulness and emotional intimacy. We will look at your history with anger, your family lineage, and you will learn tools to channel this fire in ways that support rather than hinder your life.
