Anger Management and Counseling in Tacoma, WA.

Anger is a necessary and commonly experienced emotion that assists and motivates us to take action. However, anger can also be very damaging in relationships when the anger is driving choices and behaviors which are not focused and appropriate to the cause of the anger. Anger also seems to work best when it is just a part of a full spectrum of experienced emotions. I help people both recognize, manage and understand their anger, and then work together to identify the sources of anger, and address those sources so that the anger is no longer needed.

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.

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.

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.

Anger Management counseling is a specialty service in this practice. It is an area where I have had ample experience working with clients. The process typically involves examining the issues surrounding your aggressive behaviors, and previous criminal cases that stemmed from uncontrolled behavior, and then learning how to reframe the events around you that cause you to be angry. Emotional control strategies are taught, as well as the providing or resources to support your counseling work.
