Providing anger counselling in Vancouver and across BC

Are you in a cycle of anger and regret?

Anger is a complicated and troubling emotion. Are you struggling with;

Acting out in ways you regret: Have you found yourself lashing out at people and treating them with disrespect?
Struggling to cope: Do you use sarcasm as a defence or resort to passive-aggressive behavior?
Losing your cool in public: Have you been rude to customer service, even though you know better?
Turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms: Do you try to calm intense emotions with substances?
Do you have difficulty expressing anger at all? Have you learnt to suppress your anger and have difficulty with expressing effective boundaries?

Is anger impacting your relationships?

Strained bonds: Has losing your temper hurt your relationships with family, friends, or colleagues?
Difficulty connecting: Do you find anger is your default response when you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or feel misunderstood?
Constant frustration: Do you often think, “It shouldn’t be this hard to be patient and calm, even when I’m frustrated?”
Does your anger make it difficult to apologize? Repair is an important process for healthy relationships. Do you find your anger gets in the way?

Anger can be a powerful and isolating emotion. It can lead to regrettable decisions, causing pain to those we love.

Frequently Asked Questions

I feel so ashamed of how I act but it doesn’t change anything.

Out-of-control anger and shame often go hand in hand. Deep down, we don’t want to hurt people, so understandably, we feel regret. That is because you are a good person. Shame is an emotion that is very hard to tolerate, so what can happen is that we just want to avoid the whole thing. Which then makes it difficult to face and change. In counselling, we do not judge your anger; we work with you to understand it and find ways to express it in a way you feel good about it.

I have tried to control my anger, but nothing works.

Control and white-knuckling it is rarely successful because we set up this internal battle around our anger. As one side tries to control the anger, the angry feelings fight back for recognition in the only way it knows how. We work to get to know all parts of you, bringing awareness and compassion to your struggle. We understand that your anger has something to say, and it is essential that you are heard.

How is anger useful?

Anger is a very important emotion that tells us when something is not ok, or we have been poorly treated. When we have been hurt by people who are angry or raging, it can be hard to see the benefits. Anger is a signal to us that something is wrong; angry behaviour is what can hurt us.

There is so much in the world to be angry about; how do I deal with that?

It is hard, especially when we have so much access to information, not to feel overwhelmed and angry at what is happening in the world. It makes sense to feel deep emotions about our world. Therapy is a place to explore these feelings and internal struggles to find more ease and feel more empowered around your choices. We have found that accessing our grief and vulnerability, which is often underneath the anger, can be beneficial.
