It can be difficult for men to know how to express their emotions in a healthy way.
As a result, men often bottle up their emotions, refusing to share them with anyone, until they bubble up to the surface in the form of abusive outbursts, like name-calling, trying to dominate others, or otherwise acting from a place of anger.
At the same time, some men are more aware of their behaviour than others, choosing to drink or act in other self-destructive ways, rather than taking out their emotions on their partners or families.
In any case, when men subject people to these kinds of outbursts, it can cause devastating feelings of guilt, shame, and regret, which can end up causing many other issues.
Our counsellors offer male shame and anger counselling through online counselling services and in-person counselling in Victoria and Langford, B.C. They’re well-versed in a variety of different modalities, so they can tailor their approach to your unique needs, and they’ll work hard to find the root cause of where your anger is coming from so you can understand why you act the way you do and come up with strategies to stop these kinds of behaviours.
