Anger Management and Counselling in Markdale, ON.

Anger can destroy everything in its path if we're not careful. But eradicating anger is not the goal, it's learning to anticipate and understand anger as a survival function and then gaining practical tools to regulate it and respond intentionally in life (instead of just reacting). Sometimes we may need to ask ourselves, "am I controlling my anger or is my anger controlling me?".

Perceptions of anger vary based on personal experiences; some of us have experienced it as a destructive force presented through aggression or violence. Whether anger is getting in the way of authentic connection, resolving differences with others, or impacting your overall mental health, understanding it can be a helpful first step in anger therapy, also known as anger management therapy.

In our sessions together we will explore underlying emotions, their root causes, and learn to identify triggers and more effectively manage emotions and reactions. If you are struggling with anger/emotions management and would like to learn strategies to help you cope better, please book a free consultation.

The therapy and counselling for Anger Management depends on whether you produce, receive, or exchange anger. If you are subjected to someone else's anger, there is a significant risk that you are being abused in one of its many forms. Your self-esteem may have been crushed over time and it isn't easy to recognize what's happened to you. When you find yourself producing anger, it's important to reflect on your actions. You may be repeating a learned habit. Reexamining your past can be a powerful motivator for change. If you both express anger, your abilities to cope have probably diminished, and an entirely new approach is required. A neutral, fair therapist who listens equally can help.
