Unless it is rightful anger - for example in response to cruelty like seeing someone kicking a dog - then anger is actually a cover-up for deeper more painful feelings of sadness or fear or loss. It feels easy to get angry because we have more control. It is an energetic response rather than a passive, helpless response. It is often, also, learned ie copied behaviour. Let´s look at what is going on for you that makes anger your go-to and how to re-channel this misplaced energy into something more helpful.
I believe in emotional management as opposed to anger management. Its important to understand that anger is often linked to other emotions & can be triggered by these linked emotions, as well as value based conflicts. I have extensive experience in working with people in this area.
Anger can provide us with valuable information about how we cope with stress and how we perceive ourselves. Some people may find it explosive, while others may not relate to it. Through this process, I’ll help you manage your anger and find ways to improve your relationships and work life. Working with internal anger is as equally valuable as the presenting emotion, which can result in rage and/or violence.
Psychologist, Doctorate in Psychology, DPsych, MSc with Distinction, BSc First Class Honours.
Anger is often a misunderstood and feared emotion, both to feel it within yourself and from others. I specialise in helping a person to understand their anger; why it's there, what it's for, and how they can manage and tolerate it.
