If you’re struggling with managing anger you may be wondering if it’s something unique to you and if there’s something seriously wrong with you. Firstly, it’s not unique to you. Secondly, in all likelihood, there’s nothing seriously wrong with you. Here’s an interesting concept that we believe in – good mental health is a learned skill! Especially in modern times, in the western world, where we are so disconnected with our natural self and so ingrained in our manic lifestyles and bombarded by digital messages.
We listen to hear and understand, not just to reply
Chances are you need to be listened to – and be heard – by someone who ‘gets’ you. And you will likely benefit from having some seemingly secret, essential life basics revealed to you. Some fundamental basics that you’ve never been taught, never been told and likely never heard about. Because, incredible as it seems, not many people do know these secrets. Most likely, you’ve suffered some pain and trauma – intentional or unintentional – and you’ve never recovered from it. You may not even remember anything untoward that happened to you. Many people fear they need a psychologist or counsellor, when chances are you simply need an anger management coach.
That’s what we do.
Anger Management Coach Services
Anger Management Coach
Rather like a serious athlete desires to release unhelpful habits and practice the habits that will take them to stardom, so to do those of us who want to better ourselves. As your personal anger coach, we start where you are now. Then, we work on how to guide you to where you’d like to be.
A better me – a better you
Most people desire to be the best version of themselves. They desire to be better fathers, better mothers, better spouses and partners, better workmates. Largely, this process requires some insights into what is going on inside you. We seek to understand what thoughts and emotions you’re experiencing that are sufficiently problematic that they are able to spur unreasonable levels of, or occurrences of, disturbing anger.
Starting with self awareness
By being here, reading this page, you are already demonstrating self awareness – that you can be a better version of you. That there must be help out here somewhere. You’re right – there is.
Anger means something’s not quite right
Anger is a valid emotion. Without anger, no one would stand up when injustice is served or when a wrong needs to be righted. Healthy anger protects us. However, in the absence of a reasonable threat, excessive or constant anger suggests something is out of kilter within the person.
Express the anger
Of course, it’s not a matter of ignoring or supressing/repressing anger. In fact, this is likely what’s been a contributor in the first place! Anger certainly must be expressed and worked through. But this needs to happen safely and appropriately. Your personal coach helps you do this. It’s important to not so much control your anger, as manage your anger in a healthy and safe way.
Underlying programming
Anger can be described as a ‘secondary’ emotion. This means it’s what happens when a deeper feeling or emotion is underlying. Underlying emotions are often subconscious, so we won’t even know what’s going on. An experienced coach helps with identifying what’s going on inside. Pinpointing the main anger triggers a person has, is part of the process of anger coaching and one of the things we focus on in our anger management course. Then, ways to deal with these triggers, and respond appropriately safely and constructively is the next part of the process.
Anger management
This is why working with our anger coach works. The process helps to reveal the main issues that trigger and fuel the anger. Knowing why we’re feeling angry – deep down, not just on the surface – is key to managing anger successfully.
Anger Coaching
At Anger Management Brisbane we offer one on one anger coaching, which is ideal for those seeking individual attention and assistance. The coaching process is tailored to your particular needs and paced to suit your lifestyle and aspirations. Personal, one on one anger coaching addresses the same principles as we do in our anger management course . However, if you need to delve deeper in one area, or spend longer clarifying your understanding, the pace can be adjusted to suit.
In general, the longer the anger coaching relationship continues the more thorough the problem solving and healing can be. In addition, more lasting results can be expected from longer term coaching that guides you through regular practice of the ‘new’ way of dealing with life that is developed for you.
Some of our clients are able to fund their anger coaching via their National Disability Insurance Scheme .
