Anger Management and Counselling in Scugog, ON.

Through the use of acceptance and mindfulness strategies help clients to be fully present in the moment and to accept otherwise negative emotions that contribute to unhealthy expressions of anger. Commitment and behavior change strategies help clients to change or persist in behaviors more in line with their own values. Used together these strategies increase client’s psychological flexibility.

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.

: 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.

At New Roots Therapy, we understand anger as part of an overall context. For example, we look to understand what anger is related to, as well as someone's "good reasons" for experiencing anger. Our hope is to take a non-judgmental stance, while also encouraging people to take responsibility for the expression of anger. People are not their emotions; therefore, feeling angry does not necessarily make someone an angry person. We hope to offer people a way of understanding their anger as separate from their identity, in the sense that anger does not define them. As such, people can be active agents, rather than passive recipients, in their experience and expression of anger.

Anger is a normal and healthy emotion and we all get angry from time to time. However, when anger turns destructive and/or self-destructive and brings problems into your personal and professional life, you need to seek support to learn how to manage your anger better. In the process, you will learn how to relieve the symptoms and recognize the signs of anger, increase your confidence and self esteem level, enjoy stronger and healthier relationships with your loved ones and coworkers, learn how to express yourself and your emotions with confidence and without anger, and live more balanced life both mentally and emotionally.

I work to teach my clients to both understand the underlying components of anger, and to provide them with strageties to stop it at the very first sign. Understanding what causes the anger is a key component to stopping it. I also look into situational factors such as relationships or work environments that may be contributing to the problem. Spouses, partners, friends, or family members are welcome to join in the process where appropriate, and only if you choose to do so. You will feel more in control, calmer and healthier and happier as a result, and your relationships will improve as well.

We feel anger because we feel that something is not fair, something is not working out the way we thought it should, our boundaries have been crossed, or we feel we have been treated badly, or missed out. Anger can be frustrating if you don't know how to address the underlying issue. I specialize in helping those whose anger is related to social anxiety, isolation, bullying, harassment or lack of important social skills.

Anger is just one of the many emotions we all experience. If anger is a problem for you, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) can help manage this difficult emotion and the physiological arousal that accompanies it. Anger management can help you recognize and manage triggers and learn to cope more effectively.

Anger issues can be very destructive to relationships, careers and your health. Even though anger may have initially been used as way to help feel more powerful in the moment, it often leaves you feeling powerLESS in that it often feels like the anger is controlling you rather than you controlling it. It also becomes ineffective as a "problem solving" strategy in the long run. Anger usually hurts more than it helps. I will help you understand you anger - what causes it and why you fall into it so often - and provide the tools and support you need to overcome this issue. Anger may be trauma-based and I take a trauma-informed approach to therapy in general.

Anger is the most common coping mechanism that is often misunderstood. Suppressing or avoiding anxiety inevitably leads to being overwhelmed and sometimes emotionally exploding. Instead of suppressing anger, a person should learn how to embrace it, be curious about it, feel it, understand it, and eventually channel it in a healthy and constructive manner. Anger comes from a sense of being misunderstood, ignored or left unsupported and the therapy should acknowledge and explore these areas.
