Heal yourself - heal your relationships - heal your life. You can do this!

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.

I see lots of angry teenagers. They disrespect parents and teachers, punch holes in walls, say mean things to siblings, refuse to help out around the house, or are surly and sarcastic and make everyone walk on eggshells around them. Anger management works fine if the person wants to manage their anger, but most of the angry teens brought to my office have no interest in managing their anger—they want people to know they're angry because that's the only way they feel their message will be heard. I help these kids find other ways to express themselves, and help parents hear and appreciate the message—even while disagreeing with it—so that the "heat" leaves, allowing for genuine discussion.

As a group therapist, helping people address their anger in healthier ways is something we work on regularly and successfully. In the context of the group / team work, clients are encouraged to express their frustrations and irritations in new ways, so that the old 'stuffing feelings until you blow up' is no longer the first coping tool used.

Anger is a normal emotion that lets us know when we are hurting. Our therapy together focuses on learning how to express anger in appropriate and healthy ways. Keeping anger bottled up or lashing out at others negatively affect us and our relationships. Changing these destructive patterns will allow us to experience the full range of healthy feelings.

Anger management is often worked through using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients increase awareness of their thoughts to help control their reactionary behavior. It can also be approached by looking at family and societal messages that support violent ways of expressing anger. Societal messages directed at men in particular, often support anger as an emotion men should focus on. This often masks other emotions, such as sadness or fear. Social Psychology paired with Emotion Focused Therapy can often help break down such negative messaging as well as increase healthy emotional awareness and expression.
