Depression and Anger-two emotions people have difficulty in dealing with

September 22nd, 2009 |

Depression and anger are both negative emotions.But they seem to be on opposite sides.One of the two emotions can be be seen by people exhibited by an affected person. While the other can be unnoticeable.

As a family counselor San Diego I have seen both emotions. Both of them, if the case is already serious, need to be addressed by an expert in that field.These are not problems which someone can just ignore.In the case of anger you can hurt other people.You can harm yourself when depressed.

Let’s talk about anger first. Anger is an emotion which can be explosive.It is natural and it happens to all of us.But people sometimes release all their pent up anger.It could seem uncontrollable sometimes.  And if you let it get away from you, it can be.But those times are the times when you must suppress it.  Anger can hurt other people physically as well emotionally.  If it gets too much you need to seek some anger management San Diego.

The other one is depression.It may be unnoticed not like anger where it is very obvious when experienced.The main reason is because most people hold in their depression.  Sure it can get noticeable. The usual sign that someone already need to seek help is when it already becomes noticeable.Why would a depressed person need professional help?Because a severely depressed person can harm themselves and others around them.People hide it that’s why it is or can be dangerous.  If a person gets to the point of severe depression they need professional help such as depression counselor.

It is difficult when handling emotional problems.Most of the people affected by these problems think they can solve it on their own.Or they feel like they can handle it on their own without anybody’s help.But it is at that time that they need to seek help the most.It is unacceptable for them.  But when you are dealing with emotions that can bring harm to themselvesand others, you need to.

How to excel in sports

September 6th, 2009 |

One of the great aspects our society is the sports we enjoy.Beginning with the pro athletes even going all the way to the little kids.We get to benefit from it all.  One thing about sports though, no matter how gifted you are it’s still very mental.

What am I saying with that?We have heard about the special athletes who for some reason couldn’t make it.  When you look at why, a lot of times it was in their head.  I know this for a fact helping a lot of athletes doing sports psychology in San Diego.  At each level you are going to reach a point where everyone is pretty good.The ones that can overcome the mental part of the game are the ones that will find success.

A lot of times the thing holding an athlete back from success is their mental attitude.  We see extreme cases in pro sports where promising stars just can’t do it anymore.

But we also know about the cases where a struggling athelete who hired a sports psychologist suddenly turned it around.

In golf, Tiger Woods is probably the toughest golfer mentally.Yes, he is probably the best at his game.  But it is amazing to watch his competitors wilt under pressure when playing him.Very good example showing just how mental the game of sports are.

So for those people that want to go to a career in professional sports, they need to begin in high school.By beginning in high school, what I mean is to be sure that they tune their mental game into top form.If they need to do something, they should start by hiring a therapist.  I get hired all the time to do teen therapy in San Diego to help young athletes. 

When the difference between making it huge or being just average, it is the deciding factor.  So if you find yourself struggling in your sport, look at yourself.The majority of the physical struggles we experience are due to the mental struggles. Hiring someone like a family counselor in San Diego can change that.

Dealing with anger management has many reasons

August 19th, 2009 |

One of the best things about being human is our emotions.As people, we have been blessed and given the ability to express and experience these strong emotions like love, happiness, joy, etc.But there is a few emotions that aren’t as positive but just as powerful.Things like depression, sadness, and anger.

One of those strong emotions is anger.  It is so powerful it can be dangerous in some people.It is this type of instance that we are going to look at and how to deal with it.  This is coming from my experience dealing with anger through my practice of anger management counseling.

There are many techniques that can be used to address anger. But what I want to key in on is why we need to address it.Such as the results that can happen with uncontrollable anger.

Well for a drastic extreme anger leads to violence many times. Often something like anger in it’s uncontrollable state can cause very violent acts with your loved ones.A person who might be simply wonderful and loving towards their family, can suddenlyl turn violent and angry towards those same loved ones.  We have all heard stories of crimes of passion.A lot of the times that passion was anger. If your anger seems violent sometimes and sometimes uncontrollable, that is the time you should go and seek anger management counseling.

Sometimes even depression can lead to anger management issues and that is when you need to seek depression counseling.

Anger is definitely not something you want to leave unchecked if it does cross over into the violent.

Then there is the less violent, but nonetheless harmful anger. Such as getting angry at little things that doesn’t let one think properly.  This could affect relationships.  It could affect jobs.It can and will hurt your performance with many
tasks.Anger like in that form can actually hinder your judgement greatly.As we mentioned earlier, it is not as violent, but it is something you still have to address.

By addressing your anger through counseling you can improve your quality of life greatly.  You can improve relationships, job performance, and many other things.

Not dealing with it, could lead to many harmful effects.   Effects that could have easily been avoided through caring counseling.  I know and have seen it firsthand through my practice as a therapist San Diego.

Don’t let an emotion such as anger get the best of you.  It can be treated and helped.
