Anger is a natural, vital emotional response which can be both frightening and empowering. There is a mistaken belief that it is inappropriate to express anger. However when frustration is withheld until it can no longer be contained, the result can be uncontrolled, explosive outbursts which are destructive, damaging, and may lead to feelings of shame and low self-esteem. If you find yourself having a difficult time controlling your anger, you may also be experiencing challenges in dealing with pressures of everyday life. Without the ability to express anger in a healthy and controlled way, you may experience negative thoughts and beliefs, loss of control, and mistrust.
I will work with you to identify the source of your anger and how anger is negatively impacting your life. By determining the underlying emotions connected with anger along with your own triggers, we will work towards healthy and safe alternatives to express your emotions. With a new ability to manage and express anger, it can be a healthy and vitalizing presence in your life rather than a detrimental and alienating force.
