Our anger… it can undermine our best efforts at home and at work.  It can cause distance and damage positive connections in our relationships.  It rarely provides a long-term solution to any problem.

In many ways, the anger-response is a hold-over from a more primitive time; a time when it enabled us to survive attack.  For better, or worse our brain doesn’t really “see” the difference between an emotional threat (our spouse, child, or boss coming to/at us with complaints, or criticism) and a physical threat (the guy in the dark alley).

Anger-mismanagement brings many clients to my door.  In the course of my clinical experience and training, I’ve developed a treatment approach that addresses the need to manage and express feeling more effectively, as well as the underlying issues that feed the anger-response.

In the course of our work, I’ll help you:

• Identify triggers for your anger.
• Break down your anger-response into it’s parts:
  • The physiological.
  • The emotional.
  • The cognitive (thoughts and self-talk).
  • The behavioral (what you say and do).
• Explore relationship enhancing alternatives.
• Determine and address the underlying causes.
  • The genetic (inherited traits).
  • The environmental (childhood experience).

In a nutshell, our work can be about improving your relational quality of life at work, in your marriage and with your children.
