Anger Management and Counselling in Laird, ON.

Anger is always a challenging emotion to manage. Anger management counselling can help you understand this emotion better and helps you to embrace it as a healthy emotion. There are ways to manage anger and give it positive direction so that it does not manage you. Most people do not learn these skills growing up and as a result, have difficulty knowing how to navigate this emotion as an adult.

Our experiences of anger vary greatly. While I don't offer therapy services for anger management, at Psychotherapy Collective, our online clinic, we have many therapists who offer support for clients seeking help with anger.

I have spent hundreds of hours working with clients who struggle with managing anger/rage. There are specific, step-by-step techniques that can be taught, that are very effective at helping people deal with this issue. Based on reports from clients I have worked with, I have found that if clients are committed to their process, most people make significant improvement within 6-12 sessions. Drawing from polyvagal theory, AEDP and mindfulness techniques, clients can learn healthy ways to manage and experience their anger.

I help clients understand and contain anger by learning to be curious about what this part of us might be trying to tell us. Our angry parts usually are trying to protect us from pain. Perhaps they are communicating an unmet need, a boundary being crossed, or warning us to avoid similar pain from our past. Together, we can get curious and work on developing a compassionate inner voice. We can also look at what is happening to our nervous system to understand how to manage and contain anger. You don't have to figure this out alone; please reach out for the support that you deserve.

Anger can be a difficult emotion for many of us to deal with. It is important to understand that it is not wrong to feel anger and in fact, anger can be a very healthy emotion. In therapy, we work together to first understand the source of your anger and why it shows up in possibly triggering ways. We can then work to find healthier ways to express anger and build better relationships. I also would like to empower you to feel better about your anger by not having to feel guilty about it.

It is important to know that anger is not a bad emotion to experience, we just want to be mindful of how we communicate our anger to ourselves and to others.
