Anger Management and Counselling in Petrolia, ON.

Anger is a natural emotion, but it can sometimes feel overwhelming or difficult to control. In my approach to anger management, I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore what lies beneath the anger—often hurt, fear, or unmet needs. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, and Polyvagal-informed practices to help you understand how anger shows up in both your mind and body. Together, we’ll develop practical tools to regulate your emotions, calm your nervous system, and express your feelings in healthy, constructive ways. My goal is to help you feel more in control, connected, and compassionate toward yourself and others.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of anger management in a very humane yet fresh perspective. You see, anger is a normal emotion but it is the valence (intensity) as well as the coupling choice of what one does with this that is the problem. Telling someone to "not" do it or modifying behavior with a trite psychological plan that only breeds a compliant response is not the way to change anger. Brainwave optimization is a new cutting edge technology that allows one to rewire circuitry responsible for reactivity driving the anger.

Anger is often thought of as a negative emotion, but I like to think of Anger as the part of you that loves you and wants to stand up for you when you’ve experienced something “unfair.” Anger does not always make the best decisions about when to stand up for you, so I work collaboratively with clients to identify and explore how anger shows up in their lives, and to strengthen and develop strategies to minimize the impact it has on living the life you want to live. Book a free consultation to learn more about my approach and explore if we are a good fit.

Anger is an emotion that all of us experience. But when it goes out of control it can damage you and people around you. Through psychotherapy, we can see what needs and emotions lie beneath the anger so that you can learn to manage your anger better and express yourself in an assertive and confident way. Please reach out today to learn how I can support you.

Anger, frustration, rage, and reactivity overall, can make a person feel frustrated and powerless; when we have emotional outbursts of any kind they can feel so all-encompassing and make us feel like we are not in control of feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. In working with clients on their emotions I aim to primarily promote an understanding of why our emotional outbursts occur; once this has been established we begin to work on how to manage, mitigate, or change how these outbursts occur, or why we feel the way that we feel in the first place.
