Learn How to Control Your Emotions Through Anger and Conflict Management
Anger is the emotion of “unmet expectations.” When expressed appropriately, it creates a source of energy to set boundaries, request behavior changes, and effectively manage conflict. But when anger turns to aggression and conflicts don’t seem to get resolved, you may need assistance in learning how to break free from a cycle of conflict avoidance or escalating anger. By speaking with the counselors at Chapin & Russell Associates in Peoria IL, you can learn to control your strongest emotions through anger and conflict management training.
How Can Unresolved Anger and Conflict Impact You?
As mentioned previously, the emotion of anger can be a powerful source of energy when managing conflict and setting boundaries. However, if your anger is directed in the wrong way or suppressed to a significant degree, it can cause you more harm than you might think. For example, unresolved anger and conflict can lead to:
- Chronic Stress
- Insomnia
- Anxiety
- Depression
- High Blood Pressure
- Heart Problems
- Impulsivity
- Trouble Concentrating
- And More
What Can Be Done?
Thankfully, improved anger and conflict management are achievable goals for anyone. With guidance from Chapin & Russell’s counselors, clients are able to understand the source of their anger. After uncovering the reasons behind a client’s emotional dysregulation, we introduce different methods for learning to process emotions in a healthy manner. Some of these approaches include:
- Exploring past traumas
- Addressing sources of stress
- Teaching conflict resolution skills
- Using emotional coping skills
- Modeling effective communication skills
Additionally, Chapin & Russell offers neurotherapy to address cognitive, emotional, behavioral and physiological problems. Neurotherapy has proven incredibly effective in treating the source of neurological dysregulation.
