Anger Management and Counselling in Rosthern, SK.

Narrative therapy is a type of experiential therapy that works by identifying individuals separately from their lived experiences, and empowering those individuals to use that same approach when dealing with their problems. By removing blame and others’ perceptions, individuals are able to re-author their stories and re-establish their experiences in the here-and-now. Over time with the use of narrative therapy, individuals are able to understand themselves better and separately from their problems and recognize how the language of their stories shape their life and identity.

Anger is an emotion that exists for a reason. So often in our world, we are taught that anger is unacceptable. Yet, it is often anger that alerts us to fears; that we may be taken advantage of, hurt, or at-risk. As we realize our present level of safety, establish boundaries, and gain better insight into our own emotional states, we begin to be able to address difficulty with anger management. We may have significant wounds from our past that have taught us to be hypervigilant of risk. Valid resentments from our past may be represented in symbolic elements of our daily life we do not realize. Also, our greatest fears may be what spur our anger. Together, we can address anger.

Every one of us has felt anger, a normal and usually healthy emotion. However, when anger takes control it can be destructive and damaging. It can lead to problems in relationships. Anger is often a secondary emotion; it is what we see at the tip of the iceberg. Beneath that tip are the primary emotion of grief, sadness, frustration, hurt, fear, confusion, rejection, worry, failure, embarrassment, shame, vulnerability, and insecurity. I can work with you to identify the learned patterns of responding, the triggers, and the emotions beneath your anger and together we can find better ways to cope and respond using grounding, reframing, and approaches that uniquely fit your situation.

There is nothing wrong with anger; it is how we express it that can cause problems. Anger is rarely a primary emotion, meaning it is usually not the emotion we feel first. It can be driven by fear, guilt, pain, shame, embarrassment, abandonment, rejection and the list is pretty much endless. Because anger is not rational, just try talking to an angry person and you will soon understand that, we can’t deal directly with the anger. Anger management, for me, is a matter of managing the underlying emotions and trying to understand the whys, and how s of those emotions and what need to we focus on, to stop or limit the problem anger.

Anger management counseling can help to identify stressors and learn the steps to stay calm in the face of anger. The goal is to handle tense situations in more constructive and positive ways by reducing the emotional and physical arousal that anger can cause. It will provide the tools to take back your life and resolve the triggers that result in unplanned anger reactions.

In working with anger we would take a long term approach of exploring the source of difficult emotions and learned behaviours, and a short term approach of identifying 'cues' in the body that precede the anger. With respect to the latter we might work on techniques that acknowledge the anger and which identify and change the physical symptoms of anger, so that we can ultimately change or manage the feeling itself.
