Anger Management and Counselling in Thunder Bay, ON.

Most anger is based on our assumptions about we think the world should be. Once we realize it is within our sphere of influence to change our assumptions, it gives control over how and when we react. Anger is just energy, which is often sending us a message that our sense of justice has been offended. Lets work with that, and see if you agree with it, and then find ways to manage in the moment to reduce the likelihood of creating a regretful event. A central belief people often have is that other people/other events are "making" them angry. Once you come to understand where your anger comes from, it gives such a greater sense of control over reactions.

I have spent hundreds of hours working with clients who struggle with managing anger/rage. There are specific, step-by-step techniques that can be taught, that are very effective at helping people deal with this issue. Based on reports from clients I have worked with, I have found that if clients are committed to their process, most people make significant improvement within 6-12 sessions. Drawing from polyvagal theory, AEDP and mindfulness techniques, clients can learn healthy ways to manage and experience their anger.

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?".

I help men make sense of and manage their anger. Typically there is so much more to the story than just stressed & irritable. Therapy helps you dip below the surface to reign it in for the long-run. With anger it's like something hits you and away it goes. A run-away train or a room you can't escape no matter how much you want to. It's frustrating to not feel control over it. People in your life certainly feel frustrated too. This only causes you to further push them away. Anger can look like yelling, or intimidation; an explosion of emotion directed at who ever happens to be there. It can also be held inside though, sometimes even directed towards yourself with harsh words or other harm.

Anger can be an overwhelming emotion, but it doesn't have to determine what you do or who you are. Strategies to manage anger, with skills to focus on what really matters to you, can help you overcome this difficult emotion and the negative impact it can have on your life and relationships. Counselling can help you be the person you really want to be.

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.

Anger is a normal part of human experience. Problems arise when anger is poorly managed and expressed in ways that are harmful to our selves and to others. Would you like to stop anger from getting the best of you and hurting your relationships with the people you care about. Counselling can help you find ways to manage your anger and learn how to express your feelings and ask for what you want without losing your cool.

Life pressures or historical circumstances can be driving our feelings of anger which, in turn, negatively impacts our personal wellness and relationship with others. I will work with you to identify these triggers or pressure points and develop more effective ways to manage anger. For men, depression, anxiety and fear can be underlying issues that are hidden under the emotion of anger. Let’s work together to get a better understanding of "what the anger is all about."
