Anger Management

Anger is a prevalent reality in our society, and many people believe it is outside of their control to master this often misunderstood emotion.  However, anger that harms yourself or others is a learned behavior that you were never intended to have.

    Although women can and do become angry, men in this culture have the added disadvantage of being socialized in ways that lead to problems with anger.  If you were taught not to cry and not to show your feelings, not to fail or ever show weakness, to be the breadwinner or else, or you perceived these or other messages indirectly, they do not leave a man much room to cope productively with feelings.  However, the real world does not work this way.  Sometimes men do have problems and feel pain.

    Do not assume that your anger is "just the way I am."  If you do not recognize that your anger is a choice, come in and talk with me about how I can help you learn appropriate ways to express and manage your anger.  Do not let old, worn out stereotypes of how men are suppose to be cause you to have unwanted and unnecesary anger.  If you are a woman with anger or have children who act out in anger, let me show you how to take charge of your feelings.  Anger does not have to control you!
