anger,
rage and relationship
counselling
 |
Anger is the most misunderstood emotion,
in my opinion, and because of this, people find it difficult to
accept in themselves or to express in a way that is helpful. As
a consequence anger can cause much pain in relationships.

Feeling
anger is an important piece of intelligence.It
signals the presence of a variety of issues for example, that
I have a need that isn't being met, someone is overstepping the
mark (my boundaries), attempting to manipulate me...etc. Anger
is a positive and necessary emotion
which, when acknowledged, harnessed and appropriately expressed
is our ultimate protection and ensures equality in relationships.
I work with people in two ways. On the one hand to support their
management of anger
and rage and on the other, an increasingly common problem, to
support them to safely connect with and express
suppressed anger and rage. Clients
learn to differentiate between 'here-and-now' anger and 'there-and-then
(old) resentments.
Clients are referred to me by statutory
and voluntary agencies and I welcome private clients who refer
themselves.
