Mastering Anger: Regulate, Don’t Repress

Understand Emotional Triggers, Build Control, and Grow Through Healthy Expression

Why Anger Isn’t the Enemy

Anger is a natural and valid human emotion. It tells us when something feels unjust, unsafe, or in conflict with our values. But for many, anger becomes overwhelming—leading to damaged relationships, impulsive actions, or internal shame.

At Fong Kotylak and Associates, we don’t teach you to suppress anger. We teach you how to recognize it, regulate it, and respond with clarity and purpose.

What Is Anger Management Really About?

Anger management is the practice of:

  • Recognizing emotional triggers

  • Regulating your nervous system in real time

  • Choosing intentional responses over reactive outbursts

  • Communicating feelings in a healthy, respectful way

It’s not about avoidance. It’s about transforming your relationship with anger.

The Psychology Behind It: Emotional Regulation in Action

When you’re triggered, your brain’s threat center—the amygdala—goes into overdrive. In these moments, the logical part of the brain temporarily shuts down.

Emotional regulation helps you re-engage the rational mind. Through mindfulness, breathwork, cognitive strategies, and somatic tools, you can teach your body to respond rather than react.

Why This Matters

  • Improve your relationships

  • Make better decisions under stress

  • Build emotional intelligence

  • Reduce anxiety and long-term stress

  • Increase confidence and self-awareness

Research shows that emotional regulation leads to healthier communication, decreased reactivity, and overall mental well-being.

Our Approach

We use a holistic, evidence-based framework that includes:

  • Mindfulness training to increase present-moment awareness

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to shift negative thought patterns

  • Communication skills training for assertive expression

  • Somatic practices to calm the nervous system

Whether you struggle with outbursts, silent resentment, or internalized anger, we offer practical tools to help you regain control.

You’re Not Broken—You’re Human

Anger is not a flaw. It’s a signal. The challenge is not to eliminate anger, but to learn how to respond from strength, not from pain.

With the right tools, you can navigate conflict, stand in your truth, and protect your peace.
