Anger Management and Counselling in Markstay Warren, ON.

Bettina Kealy, B.A., M.A., R.P. assists individuals who struggle with appropriately expressing and managing their anger. Therapy assists the client in adopting resolution-focused communication and problem-solving to express anger appropriately with the goal of resolving conflict. Cognitive behavioural strategies focus on the individual's emotional reaction to events, their thoughts and resulting behaviour that often lead to expressions of anger that can pose problems in one's personal life.

: We all have a right to feel and express our anger and yet sometimes anger can alienate us from the things we care about most, such as friends and family. We can also often feel judged because of the way we express our anger and this can make it harder to manage. In my work with individuals who experience anger, I provide a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space to begin to understand anger and learn new ways of expressing it. Reach out today to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

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.

When we experience recurrent anger that feels overwhelming and overpowering, we can find ourselves feeling out of control and ashamed. Through self-exploration, we can start to uncover the underlying emotions that are fueling the anger as anger tends to show up when something deeper within us needs attention and processing, often emotions that stem from past experiences, unmet needs, or ignored boundaries. By working to identify the root causes of our anger, we can begin to understand them in a more meaningful and productive way, since processing buried emotions, or unexpressed needs can be incredibly healing. Over time, this awareness can also help to transform how we relate or react to ang

It can be difficult to control our emotions, especially in these challenging times. Anger can also be an expression of other emotions that are lying beneath the surface. Psychotherapy can help identify tools that work for you in learning to regulate your emotions, as well as approaching your anger with preventative strategies such as learning to recognize when you begin to feel angry, and regular activities that can help alleviate stress and build up your stress tolerance. You are not defined by your anger, and your anger doesn't control you. By learning to identify your triggers and the purpose your anger serves for you, therapy can help you make a shift bring more peace into your life.

Are you finding it difficult to manage your anger? Anger is often a result of loosing your sense of control, feeling frustrated, or being blocked from something that is important to you. Psychotherapy can help you develop better self-understanding, reduce stress, cultivate better judgement, develop your communication skills, and increase empathy and connection with those around you.
