Anger Management Therapy
Anger Management
​
Anger is a natural human emotion—one that we all feel when something seems unfair, hurtful, or out of our control. But when anger begins to feel overwhelming or ever-present, it can start to affect our relationships, our health, and our sense of peace.
Maybe it shows up as constant irritability, explosive reactions, or a quiet simmer just beneath the surface. It can leave you feeling drained, misunderstood, or even ashamed. But here's the truth: anger is often a signal—not a flaw. It's your mind and body trying to tell you that something deeper needs attention.
Chronic or intense anger can stem from unhealed wounds, past trauma, unmet needs, or patterns learned long ago. It can also be influenced by mental health challenges, genetic predispositions, and emotional coping strategies that once helped you survive—but no longer serve you.
At our clinic, we provide a safe, compassionate space to explore your anger, understand its roots, and learn tools to express it in healthy, constructive ways. You don’t have to keep carrying this weight alone. With the right support, anger can be transformed—from a destructive force into a powerful ally for healing and change.

Treatments
At Greystones Health, we believe that anger is not just something to “manage”—it’s something to understand, heal, and transform. Our integrative approach to anger therapy goes beyond traditional talk therapy by blending the emotional insights of psychotherapy with the physical healing power of naturopathic medicine.
Anger often masks deeper emotional wounds or physical imbalances. Through psychotherapy, you’ll explore the root causes of your anger—uncovering patterns from the past, understanding emotional triggers, and developing effective tools for expression, communication, and regulation.
​
We often use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a proven, evidence-based method for helping individuals identify unhelpful thought patterns and shift their emotional and behavioural responses. When needed, we can also involve family members to improve communication and create healthy boundaries in your most important relationships.
But we don’t stop there.
​
What makes Greystones Health unique is our Mind-Body approach. Alongside psychotherapy, our Naturopathic Doctors assess the physical contributors to emotional dysregulation—factors like inflammation, blood sugar instability, hormone imbalances, food sensitivities, gut-brain health, and cortisol levels (your body’s stress hormone). These underlying issues can profoundly impact your mood, your ability to cope, and your capacity to regulate emotions like anger.
Using natural remedies to support neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA, we help calm the nervous system, making it easier for you to engage in the therapeutic process and see lasting results.

As emotional resilience grows and biochemistry begins to balance, something amazing happens: energy increases, motivation returns, and previously difficult health habits—like improving diet and exercise—become easier to build and sustain.
This is more than anger management. It’s a path to healing, balance, and renewed emotional freedom.
