Anger Management and Counselling in Stouffville, ON.

Anger is probably the most misunderstood of all emotions. Anger is a primary energy arising from the biological imperative for survival and self defence. This energy gets twisted and mangled as we grow up in a society where anger is often expressed violently or completely held back and hidden. We rarely learn healthy and satisfying means to express this natural and powerful force. I don't believe anger should be managed as much as to relieve the history of inhibition through mind body connection, awakening of frozen defensive responses in a safe and mutually respectful environment and teaching the body to return to an optimum state for healthy defence and self-advocating as necessary.

Anger is normal and tells you something is wrong in your life. However, some of us need to learn to express our anger differently. Counselling involves learning to identify your unique triggers, and exploring new responses that are healthy to you and those in your life. It is most effective in managing your anger if you can identify causes of your anger so we will look at family history of anger and life experiences. Learning communication skills and healthy boundaries may help you reduce your angry responses and be more relaxed in your life and relationships.

Feeling Anger is a normal response to being wronged in some way or having our boundaries crossed. Anger can help us stand up for ourselves, or we can use it to protect and advocate for others. Anger is healthy and good. But how we choose to express our anger directly shapes what comes next. Does my response hurt or scare myself or someone close to me? Do I feel in control of my actions? Does my response bring me closer to my core values, or is it a barrier between who I am today and who I’d like to be? Learning to manage our response to intense emotions can give us great insights into our motivations, desires, and patterns of living. Call today to start this important reflection work.

Anger is a common emotion that can come easy to us and can feel quite powerful. Our anger can often help us identify when something doesn’t sit right with us, when we feel like our needs are not being met, or like situations pose some level of injustice towards us. However, it is what we do with this anger that can make all the difference in how we cope, experience, and navigate situations. As a therapist, I will never tell you how to express your anger, but rather I will empower you to manage it in a way that fits best for you and your life. Connect with me today for a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Nobody wants to be angry and upset themselves or others. Anger is sometimes about current issues that need to be resolved through a good action plan. Other times it is due to deeper issues that need to be worked through. Anger is often a symptom of previous upsets or issues in our lives that caused us pain in some way. We will process those upsets through discussion and unique exercises created for you as homework or to be completed in session until they are worked through.

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 a normal emotion. However, anger becomes a problem when it occurs frequently, is disproportionate to the situation that triggered it, when it leads to verbal or physical aggression, and when you cannot “let it go” even after the situation has passed. Anger management helps people identify the triggers for their anger and to develop strategies to manage those triggers so they do not lead to excessive or inappropriate anger. While it may not always feel like it, there is a step between whatever triggers your anger and your feelings and expression of anger. You may not be able to avoid the people or situations that make you angry, but you can learn to change your reactions to them.

Much of parenting work is teaching our children and teens how to be safe, compassionate, and respectful human beings. This is the tricky part, particularly since kids have a mind of their own and there are plenty of times that they disagree with parents and go head-to-head. So how do parents approach their children effectively without losing their own patience? In our therapeutic approach and parent coaching sessions, we provide individualized support for understanding what may be underlying the anger and how to strengthen emotion and behaviour regulation.

Anger can be a strong emotion. When used in an unproductive way, anger can harm us (i.e. self-criticism, self-injury), and harm our relationships (i.e. blaming, criticism, aggression, inflexibility). However, when this feeling is used in a healthy way, it can give us some important information about boundaries, needs & expectations. It can also help to motivate us to make necessary changes. In therapy, we can work together to get a handle on anger and harness that energy in healthy, helpful ways.

However, this treatment can also help clients with anxiety, depression, and other presentations that formed roots from invalidating environments.

Anger is a common response when we are afraid. It can also be a reaction when we feel shame or guilt. The challenge with anger is that unreleased, it can create health issues and when released, it can have serious consequences. My approach is to work with clients to identify underlying beliefs that trigger the anger reaction. By becoming self-aware, the client begins to gain control of their emotions which in turn allows them to have different outcomes.
