Chad used to think he never got angry... now he knows the truth. Anger is a fundamental thing to address and can make the difference in people's lives.
I thought about writing a bunch of swear words.
But I am working on my anger management how about you?
In therapy you can swear all day long.
Maybe you are just sad?
Ever thought of that?
Call me let's get angry about how sad we are together!
Anger is an healthy emotion that must be acknowledged and accepted. When we experience anger we receive a message that a change is required. Therapy can help an individual establish healthy personal boundaries. Having such boundaries can assist one to create shifts in their relationships and their experiences to minimize the opportunity for frustration. Therapy can also help one validate one’s emotions and express their feelings in healthier ways.
Perceptions of anger vary based on personal experiences; some of us have experienced it as a destructive force presented through aggression or violence. Whether anger is getting in the way of authentic connection, resolving differences with others, or impacting your overall mental health, understanding it can be a helpful first step in anger therapy, also known as anger management therapy.

We all experience difficult situations that are little complex to understand and manage. Anger covers actual issues and concerns which remains unresolved. Both suppressing or expressing anger effects our health. It’s advisable that to learn how to control anger rather allowing anger to control us.

I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.
