Anger Management and Counseling in Scranton, PA.

Anger is a perfectly normal, human response. In fact, it's actually a built in survival mechanism in humans. Disproportionate and uncontrollable anger, however, can be harmful to oneself and others. Our approach to Anger Management focuses on learning to recognize anger triggers, including both negative thought patterns and external stimuli. Our anger management clients have learned skills to calm themselves when angry, as well as healthy way to express anger.

Famous quote, He who angers me, conquers me. I try to live by this thought. Anger can destroy you and keep you stuck. I can offer you a safe place to discuss what is causing anger and learn techniques to remain calm in stressful situations. Feeling angry is a normal response but the behaviors and actions that follow may be destructive and need to be corrected. I can help.

Most people with anger control problems hate themselves for it. They often promise themselves to do better but then feel like situations get the better of them. They often feel misunderstood, under appreciated and somewhat disconnected from the relationships that matter the most to them. There are so many different causes for this. That is why the first step is to do a caring and thorough evaluation. In any treatment worth it's salt, a person first feels understood. Much of the time I find that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), together with interventions from positive psychology, can significantly help people to act with intention, which can often feel like being reborn.

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.
