Anger Management and Counseling in Buckley, WA.

My counseling practice in Kent has a male therapist on staff who specializes in anger management issues. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, he uses various methods to help his clients find alternate ways of dealing with their anger and stress. He also teaches them techniques to de-escalate before they get to the point of losing control. Please visit our website to find out more: www.meridiancounselingservices.com.

Some times our emotions get the best of us, however every argument is a golden opportunity in our relationship to learn and possibly create an intimate connection, it is all up to how we respond. I help individuals and couples learn how to monitor and control their anger, allowing them to take full advantage of these opportunities. It is not how many fights or arguments that we have, but how we resolve and work through these difficult times that is the most important.

Managing emotions involves self-awareness to understand the cause and meaning of emotions. Anger is a particularly complicated emotion because it is deeply rooted in our survival system. If you don't get it under control, it will control you! Learn techniques to reduce both the emotions and physical drives that lead to uncontrolled outbursts. Use this powerful energy to make positive changes instead!

Anger management is a common type of therapy that I see benefitting many people from various backgrounds. Because anger is a very misunderstood emotion, I work with my clients to learn how to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy anger. Once this difference is understood, we will develop an understanding of the root causes of unhealthy anger and learn to address these causes in new ways. Once you understand how anger operates and what emotions lie beneath the anger, you will feel more in control of your emotional patterns and more confident.

We feel anger because we feel that something is not fair, something is not working out the way we thought it should, our boundaries have been crossed, or we feel we have been treated badly, or missed out. Anger can be frustrating if you don't know how to address the underlying issue. I specialize in helping those whose anger is related to social anxiety, isolation, bullying, harassment or lack of important social skills.

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.
