Kennedy McLean Counselling & Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist
So many of us were not taught healthy ways to manage anger as children. Maybe anger was modelled as violence and so that’s all we know, or maybe we were so afraid of it that we try to never show our anger. We bottle it up until we explode and have negative consequences. These are just two examples, whatever your situation, we can certainly help you sort it out, to feel less angry and when you do feel angry to express it in a healthy way that doesn't hurt yourself or others.

Oh, anger, often relegated to the shadows as the most maligned emotion in the human repertoire. Yet, it is my fervent passion and ambition to redefine its narrative, shedding light on this potent emotion's healthy and empowering uses. Acknowledged for its potential to become one of the most poisonous energies when mismanaged, anger has been implicated in family breakdowns, wars, lost relationships, emotional harm, and tragically, even death. It's no wonder that society often perceives anger as the problem, prescribing the solution as suppressing or never expressing it.
Unfortunately, this approach doesn't lead to healing toxic anger, which I define as the kind that manifests as a destructive force, causing harm and leaving poisonous aftermaths. The path to healing unhealthy anger emerges when we dare to recognize anger as a precious emotion. This guide can lead us to a world where healthy boundaries shape relationships, justice guides us through addressing problematic situations, and self-care and self-respect become guiding beacons in the vast expanse of our lives.
Across millions of years of evolution, anger has served as a vital signal, alerting us to instances of hurt, mistreatment, neglect, or abuse. Its healthy purpose extends beyond mere survival; it empowers us to create harmonious and peaceful experiences with ourselves and our communities. However, the unfortunate consequence of society's tendency to discard all forms of anger is the epidemic of toxic anger we witness today.
Toxic anger, I believe, is the misguided use of this powerful emotion—redirecting pain toward the wrong targets and employing inappropriate tools for expression. People often blame anger for the misuse of this energy, and when addressing anger management, my approach goes beyond preventing harmful outbursts. I strive to guide individuals toward understanding the messages embedded within themselves, transforming signals of frustration and anger into powerful fuel for positive life transformation and inner peace.
Understanding the healthy aspect of anger becomes apparent when we experience or witness injustice, feeling a surge of anger. I believe this form of anger has fueled human revolutions led by inspiring figures such as Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King. Leaders like them harnessed anger in its healthiest form—transforming the desire to harm into a commitment to establishing clear boundaries, standing up for justice, and never remaining silent in the face of injustice.
Throughout my own life, advocating for justice and assisting others in developing this capability has been a profound passion. With this passion, I extend an invitation to transform your relationship with anger, utilizing it as a catalyst to enhance your life rather than perpetuating harm to yourself and those you hold dear through toxic anger. It would be my honour to guide you on this transformative journey.

Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
Anger is a really important aspect of our healing; to be able to allow anger, to feel it and to integrate it helps us to understand where our boundaries lie and where we may have been violated in the past. This awareness, being with it, can become our strength. It includes knowing when we just plain don't like the way we are being treated; which is an important aspect in self esteem.

Uncontrolled anger can be destructive. We look at the impact, and your goals for doing this emotional work. Addressing the history of the behaviour can help, as well as looking at what you want to create instead of anger and it's outcomes.

Andrea Rowell
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Anger often arises from feeling misunderstood. It can also show up as resentment because people aren't understanding your needs, which might make you feel used. Accepting anger as an important and normal emotional response can be very difficult because often anger is equated with the "scary" behaviour which can result. You have options other than becoming loud or big. You can't hug a porcupine! Let's work on how you can receive what you truly want.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Anger triggers the bodies fight or flight system which can have a significant impact on how we relate to others and the world around us. Anger also serves a purpose, the purpose may differ for each individual but it is typically rooted in fear. So what may be manifesting as "anger" or "rage" stems from a fear response to a vulnerability being triggered or deemed as under threat. Our time together will not focus solely on eliminating anger, but rather, to understand it's purpose, and how it is historically relevant to your life in order to first deepen your understanding of it then work towards modifying it. All aspects of the self, including the part that is angry deserves to be seen, otherwise, we will deepen the emotions of shame and guilt which can perpetuate the cycle of anger.
