Anger Management
Counseling and Programs
Living Life Counseling provides targeted programs and counseling for those needing to learn how to effectively manage their anger. We also provide clients court-ordered anger management counseling and education.
Please call us at 810-923-5760 to discuss how we can provide you the help and education needed to address the anger management issues you are facing.
One of the key fundamentals when learning anger management counseling techniques is to understand that anger is considered a symptom, not the problem; although anger can cause considerable problems. People usually get angry to regain power and control, as well as, to avoid vulnerable feelings such as shame, guilt, rejection, hopelessness, or helplessness.
To live the life you have always wanted, many of us need to thoroughly deal with the source of these feelings and the resulting emotions. You have every right to the feelings you experience; however, it is reaction to these feelings that impact relationships. It is important that you deal with these issues now before your partner leaves you, work performance becomes an issue, or the courts force you to seek therapy and anger management training.
Through anger management coaching we can teach you how to deal with painful feelings and control your reaction - ultimately leading to more healthy relationships. To help you begin dealing with your anger right now, it is important to understand people who experience anger usually struggle with one or more types of anger. Below are the 10 most common types of anger and our treatment approach.
