ANGER MANAGEMENT THERAPY IN BARRIE, ON
Has your anger ever gotten the best of you? Maybe you flipped off someone in traffic or yelled at your kids out of frustration. Anger is a natural emotion. We all get angry and "explode" from time to time, but going from zero to 100 or seething inside with anger for hours may indicate that you are having trouble expressing your emotions effectively and are stuck in an unhelpful pattern of behaviour.
Uncontrolled anger may hurt you or others...
POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF ANGER:
-
Increased risk of health problems
-
Strained or broken relationships
-
Low self-esteem, feelings of guilt or shame
-
Putting others in distress
-
Poor work performance or conflict at work
-
Trouble with the law
Anger is often a secondary emotion. On the surface, what may appear as anger might actually be some other distressing emotion or feeling such as anxiety, rejection, fear, powerlessness, irritability, sadness, disrespect, humiliation, annoyance, stress and so forth.
Our team of online therapists in Ontario and in-person therapists in Barrie can help you unpack your anger to figure out what is really bothering you under the surface and then help you learn anger management techniques to get it under control. Your relationships won't have to suffer anymore because of your anger. And you don't have to feel bad for lashing out and acting in ways that you don't like and aren't who you truly are.
Don't let your anger control you anymore- learn how to manage anger and express your feelings better through anger management therapy in Barrie, today.

What to Expect In Anger Management Therapy With Us
It’s natural to wonder how anger management actually works. At Inner Growth Counselling & Psychotherapy, our team of anger management therapists approach anger with curiosity, compassion, and nonjudgement.
Here’s what our process looks like:
​
Step One: Intake Call
When you reach out for a free 15-minute consultation with our team, we seek to understand your goals for therapy and match you with a therapist best suited for your individual needs and personality.
Step Two: Assessment
In your first meeting with your anger management therapist, you’ll get to know one another. You’ll explore your history with anger, identify triggers, assess current stressors, and discuss how anger impacts your daily life. They’ll be able to answer any questions you have and walk you through what to expect out of your work together.
​
Step Three: Understanding the Root Cause
Over the course of sessions together, you’ll uncover the deeper reasoning behind your anger, such as fear, stress, rejection, or unmet needs.
​
Step Four: Developing Skills & Strategies
Based on your triggers and root cause, you’ll learn specific tools for managing your anger. This might include things like grounding skills, emotional regulation, communication techniques, or strategies to shortcut anger from building up.
​
Step Five: Practice & Feedback
You’ll apply your new skills between sessions, debriefing with your therapist during sessions so that you can amplify what works, and find new solutions for what doesn’t.
​
Step Six: Long-Term Change & Relapse Prevention
All along, you’ll be learning how to maintain progress, prevent old patterns from resurfacing, and strengthen healthier ways of coping with big emotions.
