Anger Management - Gold Coast
★★★★★ Google Review 2022: Individual Counselling: Ghita has helped me with anger management, individual counselling and Timeline Therapy, and has made a huge impact in a short time. She has helped me to understand parts of myself better, and given me knowledge and tools to use outside of my session as well. I can't recommend her enough. - Freddie (Tugan)
How Much is Anger Costing You in Your Relationships?
Do you find yourself consumed with anger a significant amount of the time? Do you loop over and over again which effects your day? Do you feel like there are unresolved issues that manifest themselves in feelings of anger, aggression or frustration? Is this affecting your home or work relationships?
At Ghita Therapy we offer Anger Management in-clinic and via Telehealth. Telehealth is ideal for clients who work away or who travel for work.
And as you probably know, medications are not a long-term solution because, they come with many side effects. Our view is that anger issues and therefore health issues can be significantly reduced by finding out where our triggers come from. This may include methods such as Talk Therapy, Childhood Regression Therapy, and trauma healing methods such as EMDR, NLP and Hypnotherapy.
Many medical studies have found that anger has a bad effect on health. A Harvard Medical School study looked at a group of people who presented with chronic or passive anger, overwhelmed or self-inflicted anger, judgemental anger or volatile anger, in other words a vast array of presentations of anger.

CASE STUDY: Men's Anger Management:
Michael had Anger Management issues. He would often yell at his staff and had trouble maintaining relationships - including romantic one's. We examined his childhood with an intensive counselling session followed by a Time Line Therapy Regression and deleted an old limiting belief that he had about his self-worth. The change in Michael was remarkable.
Ghita identified that I had issues with authority after a relaxed chat. Returned to experience a monumental shift. Feels like a sack of spuds has been lifted from my shoulders. I feel lighter and have continued to benefit by applying my new found calm when dealing with everybody, especially when guide my colleagues at work. Ghita has a gift, enjoy! - Michael (Brisbane) Testimonials.
Why Do We Get Angry?
Anger is often associated with frustration – things don’t always happen the way we want and people don’t always behave the way we think they should. Anger is the by-product of not feeling in control and not have our needs met. Basically, we are triggered by an event and our internal voice has a filter about the event or a negative (egocentric) phrase which gives us a rise (reaction). You may feel self-protective, frightened, guilty, worried, shamed or frustrated, but may express these feelings as anger. Anger releases tension, but only gives relief in the short-term.
In fact, men and women often express emotion in different ways. Often men find it harder to express or understand the feelings underneath the anger, like hurt, fear, sadness or grief. For women the reverse may often be true – the anger gets buried through internalisation, emotional eating, ruminating, or other coping methods of expression. When a person is feeling vulnerable, sad or powerless, they may act out in a more powerful way with anger. Anger is useful for expressing the unexpressable, such as shame or embarassment.
"Things that used to send me over the edge, now make me laugh. I think to myself, 'I used to get triggered by that.' I am so glad that I did Anger Management with Ghita. It was a waste of my energy to get angry about things I couldn't control." - Anthony - Gold Coast
When is Anger a Problem?
Anger is a secondary emotion. If a person avoids fully feeling a primary emotion (such as sadness) and uses anger instead, it causes problems with relationships, jobs, authority, parenting and life in general. Anger is also a problem when other people around you are frightened, hurt or feel they cannot talk to you or disagree with you in case you become angry.
Anger triggers your adrenal glands to secrete adrenaline, the fight or flight response. This can lead to adrenal fatigue and the following health issues. Other scientific studies have linked inflammation in the body with aggression, anger and impulsivity. Inflammation is a serious health problem and can manifest as arthritis, fibromyalgia, allergies and auto immune diseases. High cortisol also eats up serotonin... the feel good and coping hormone.
Short Term Affects of Anger:
Long Term Affects of Anger:
Why am I Angrier Than Ever Before?
The human nervous system is part of the reptilian brain and part of our survival design. The fight or flight response in humans is automatic. When anger gets set off more often than in the past, it is because you have become hypersensitive and the mind has created short-cut highways to anger. This can be because of worn neurons (stress) and fatigued adrenal glands, a lack of serotonin (or GABA), a bad diet, or new automatic highways designed to protect you faster. However, those highways will need retraining to change.
When Should I Do Something About it?
How Much are Fees?
Anger Management costs the same as counselling unless we are using hypnosis or Time Line Therapy. Anger Management sessions are available via video on Whatsapp, Skype or Facebook Messenger.
