Here’s what we get up to . . .
It’s more than just controlling anger, it’s about learning to be in touch with all of our emotions, so that they are not dangerous to ourselves or others.
Many of us were taught that suppressing anger is how we be a good person. It is not. That is how we accumulate frustration and anger until it erupts, or turns inwards looking like depression.
Anger is an energetic emotion that needs to be released with expression - but that doesn’t look like yelling, screaming, or withdrawing into silent contempt.
Develop new awareness for new choices with the support of a compassionate professional who understands.

At OnlineTherapyOntario.com, we offer a comprehensive anger management program that not only addresses anger itself but also dives deep into the emotional landscapes that often accompany it.
Key Learnings and Relationship Benefits:
Holistic Understanding of Anger: Our program emphasizes that anger is often a surface emotion, signaling deeper issues such as unresolved trauma, stress, or anxiety. By helping clients unpack these underlying emotions, we empower them to respond to anger with greater awareness and emotional maturity.
Enhanced Emotional Awareness: Participants learn to identify their emotional triggers and engage in mindfulness practices that foster self-regulation. This increased emotional awareness leads to healthier expressions of feelings, reducing conflict in personal and professional relationships.
Improved Communication Skills: Through techniques like "I" statements and active listening, clients gain tools for expressing their feelings constructively. This skill not only aids in managing anger but also enhances overall communication, which is crucial for fostering positive relationships.
Building a Supportive Community: We believe that emotional well-being is bolstered by a supportive social network. Clients are encouraged to connect with others who foster positivity, kindness, and understanding—pillars of emotional health.
Commitment to Love and Kindness: Our goal behavior is centered around love and kindness. We aim to instill values of empathy and compassion in our clients, encouraging them to cultivate these qualities in their interactions with others.
Scheduling a Consultation: If you would like to talk to us before suggesting our program, book a meeting using the book now button that fits your schedule, or let us get back to you.

Program Goals
Enhance emotional awareness and regulation strategies.
Develop effective communication and conflict resolution skills.
Create a personalized anger management plan.
Foster ongoing personal growth and resilience beyond the program.
Our emotions have messages for us.
In the case of anger, it’s saying, “Something is wrong!” But that does not mean attack your loved one or friend, that’s a trauma reaction.
Learn to deal with triggers, to communicate anger in effective ways, and to act on our values rather than our feelings.
Let’s learn to acknowledge and respond with our wise adult for positive results, rather than reacting from fight or flight mode, when most of our brain is turned off.
Men and women both have nervous systems and we evolved to share our feelings with each other.
Get in touch with your full range of emotions, so you can be in touch with their full range of emotions. Otherwise, others will be emotionally alone and you won’t even know what’s wrong. You don’t miss what you never had, but they sure do.
Be there for yourself in a new way so you can be there for them in a complete way.
Change the family story.
Do I have to take a whole program?
No, you don’t.
This is why you may want to.
In therapy, you are always in the driver's seat, whether you choose to attend one session or fifty. We can use a scaffold to guide sessions that tackles issues known to be beneficial for dealing with emotions, including your life and relationships - or we can work together organically, which is traditional therapy, and is also a valid approach to your personal growth work. Things may emerge in therapy that do not impact your relationship with anger, and that would be true no matter the approach we take. You are the expert of your own life; we are just here to join your team for a bit and provide an outside perspective and relational feedback, along with psychoeducation when we deem it useful, always with your consent.
Committing yourself to continued personal growth with regularly scheduled sessions is known to have benefit and you are less likely to neglect this important life goal of creating a more peaceful relationship with yourself and others, while getting your needs met with more effective communication. You are investing in your personal life and how you feel, consider how you may have invested in your education for a good vocation - consider this tuition for how you feel in life and in your relationships.
Your journey and progress are guided by your needs and comfort level. While it is typically recommended to engage in ongoing sessions for optimal progress—often 8 to 12 sessions for anger management—it's important to remember that you control the pace and direction of your treatment.
Every individual's situation is unique, and you can decide when to continue or conclude therapy based on your evolving needs and goals. The important thing is that you're taking steps towards understanding and managing your emotions.
For more information on suggested therapy times for anger management and other resources, consider checking reputable organizations such as CAMH or articles in Psychology Today.
