Anger Management and Counseling in Darrington, WA.

Anger is a powerful, yet fascinating emotion that everyone experiences. If we have problems with it, we either stuff it and it makes us physically sick or we explode. It is like temporary insanity. I teach people how to identify the steps towards out of control anger and how to break out of the "anger trance." Gaining conscious awareness and choice is key. Anger usually is about getting a need met, but often people back away from the one who is angry. It is counterproductive. Domestic violence of (physical or emotional abuse) happen when we get stuck in patterns and try to control. I have helped a lot of people over the past 20 years move from the anger cycle to more loving relationships.

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.

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.
