Scott is certified in Anger Management and will help you address any Anger Management issues in a one on one or group setting, or both if we think it will be beneficial.
I integrate mindfulness based strategies and cognitive behavioral approaches to help you gain insight into harmful anger patterns and learn to respond more effectively. We will work together to explore problematic patterns and triggers. You will learn to differential primary vs. secondary emotions.
Anger is a normal emotion we all have. But if you find yourself getting too easily triggered or expressing it in a harmful way, then it's a problem that probably affects your overall quality of life and health. I approach anger management in a non-judgmental way and teach you how to challenge the thoughts that are upsetting you and teach you how to calm your body. Without these two key skills, managing emotions is challenging.
Anger can feel like your water bottle is about to explode. Aside from the fact that it might initially feel good once you are angry, you notice that other people might veer away from you. I can help you process this while providing you skills to help prevent the anger.
Dr. David Steinbok believes that change occurs within the individual, through insight and awareness. By utilizing the therapist as an accepting, non-judgmental participant, one can come to understand what keeps them from moving forward and achieving more satisfaction in their lives.
