COUNSELLING IN WESTON SUPER MARE – HOW TO MANAGE YOUR ANGER

In my counselling practice in Weston super Mare, I often see people who are struggling to manage their anger. If you reach a point where you can no longer deal with the difficult situations in life, you are likely to either: become very depressed, or be excessively angry at the person or thing that caused the problem. 

Anger is a natural part of life. Some anger is not something to be worried about, it is not an abnormal state of mind but in fact is a normal and healthy reaction of the person’s mind and body to a certain situation that didn’t agree with them. 

However when anger becomes out of control it can be very harmful to yourself and to those around you. If your anger has become out of control it can result in loss of a job, loss of your home, loss of relationships and have many other detrimental affects. 

There are two ways to look at controlling or “managing” anger. 

Firstly, consider, is there some deep rooted cause? Perhaps there is something traumatic from the past that you haven’t dealt with. We can often find ourselves reacting in the “here and now” to something or someone from the past that has caused us great pain and sadness. Quite often we are not even aware that we are doing this! 

Counselling is a great way to look at painful issues in a safe and confidential environment. In counselling you can speak your mind without fear of being judged. 

Secondly, learn some specific behavioural techniques, such as recognising when anger is arising, and make a positive and clear choice to deal with it.
Practice some relaxation techniques, learn to meditate, watch your lifestyle habits such as drinking too much alcohol, poor diet or lack of exercise. 

Again counselling is a great way to help make changes. A good counsellor will help you to look at unhelpful patterns of behaviour, and consider new ways of doing things. Counselling can help you to become more aware of your beliefs about yourself and the world, and to practice changing these to be more positive and happy. 

Over the years I have helped many people overcome their anger problems; to move forward to a happier and healthier life, with more positive and rewarding relationships.
