New blog: "It’s Me. Hi. I’m the Problem, It’s Me" by Brit Barkholtz

As a therapist and as a person in general, one thing I’ve come to know for sure is that there are very few universalities in life. Sure, we know what they say about death and taxes but then, given what we know about tax fraud maybe even that isn’t as universal as the saying implies.

New webinar: Calming The Anger Within

You will learn how to manage your anger and lead a healthier, more balanced life with simple yet effective coping mechanisms.

Mary Jo learned about coping mechanisms for anger through a discussion about the myths of anger, the consequences of uncontrolled anger, and the necessary criteria for change. It is important to be aware of one’s triggers for anger and the body signs of escalation, in order to use the calming technique and diaphragmatic deep breathing to reduce anger. Additionally, it is important to recognize and address mistaken beliefs that can lead to anger, and to take personal responsibility for one’s own anger. Lastly, it is beneficial to have a list of coping thoughts that can be used in different situations.

What You’ll Learn:
1. The triggers that make you angry.
2. How to take control of your anger.
3. How to become aware of the consequences of uncontrolled anger

Are you interested in Individual Therapy?

Individual therapy is a collaborative relationship in which you work together with an experienced professional clinician and decide what to focus and work on … and what your overall goals will be. An experienced therapist will be actively involved in asking questions, assisting in helping you get a deeper understanding of your situation, and providing emotional support throughout the entire process.

At MidWest Center for Personal & Family Development, we focus and specialize in one-on-one individual therapy in the Minneapolis, St. Paul and the Twin Cities Area.
