MERGE Counselling and Education Services addresses the needs of women to examine their anger issues. Not only do unhealthy anger choices jeopardize her happiness and stability, but also that of those around her.

Women feel tremendous stress and pressure to succeed. In an attempt to cope, anger can easily become self-destructive and have negative effects on people in her life. However, we believe that women can use anger as a powerful tool in achieving safe, positive behaviour.

MERGE Counselling and Education Services offers group counselling for women to understand and evaluate how they have chosen to express anger in their lives.

All projects, including Women Living In Anger, are delivered with respect for diversity and experience. Cultural interpretation is available upon request.

Anger Problem Indicators:

• If you feel attacked or criticized or shamed, or if you find yourself on the defensive a lot....you have an anger problem.
• If you find yourself not able to listen or if you find yourself shaming another person ....you have an anger problem.
• If you are raging about what is going on .... you have an anger problem.
• If you feel you are pushed to the point that you must "take control", verbally or physically .... that is an anger problem.
• If you are in a relationship with somebody who has an anger problem, you also have an anger problem.
• If anybody is being touched or controlled or dominated, if any abuse is being forced against the will of another, there is abuse going on ... it is likely to be violent... it is an anger problem.

An anger problem is any behaviour that is hurtful to yourself or to another person.
