Anger is a normal human emotion that we all experience from time to time, whereby we feel annoyed or frustrated by a situation. However, when we feel angry all the time, it can be very distressing and wear us down. Regular angry outbursts can even interrupt our ability to go about our daily lives, and can hold us back from happiness.
Stress refers to a feeling of mental or emotional strain and pressure, and in many cases can be a healthy response to a situation, such as running a race or sitting an exam. On the contrary, ongoing or chronic stress can have damaging effects on our physical, mental and emotional health and can negatively impact our relationships, career and overall wellbeing.
Before finding and attending Blissiree Pty Ltd, Casey* had been suffering from anger management issues and stress for some time, primarily due to work-related stress. Casey’s anger and stress issues were interfering with her relationships with others.
Witnessing a colleague quit the following day as a result of an angry outburst from Casey, she decided it was time to seek professional help for her mental health. Casey shares with us below her journey from managing regular stress and anger in the past, to feeling much happier and calmer today as a result of help from Blissiree Pty Ltd.
What was the biggest trigger of your mental health issues (anxiety, depression, anger or something else)?
Anger and stress.
What issues in your life do you feel most contributed towards your emotional wellbeing?
Work stress.
Which area of your life was most affected by mental health? What did it stop you from doing or achieving?
Anger and stress stopped me from finding a relationship and going out with friends.
Can you describe the feelings and thoughts you experienced?
I felt/thought the world did not care about me and that I was not living to my full potential.
What was the tipping point that made you speak up about how you were feeling and seek professional help?
When I was at work one day, my co-workers did not follow the instructions given to them. This resulted in me losing my temper and led to one of them quitting the next day.
How did you hear about BWS?
I found Blissiree Pty Ltd on the internet when I decided that I needed help.
What questions did you have before first contacting Kylie / BWS?
Price, and how long each session / the total treatment plan went for.
Why did you decide to try and give BWS a shot?
Because my mind was clouded and my actions made someone quit their job.
Can you explain the process of going through the BWS Emotional Empowerment Program from the first session until now?
After the first session my mind was clearer, my stress was lighter and my anger had turned into happiness. Now after eight sessions I am always happy, I see the positive more than the negative and have little to no stress about life. I have found my true potential for living.
How did you feel after your first BWS session?
Very, very happy.
How did you feel after each session? Did you experience different emotions / feelings / relief after particular sessions?
After every session I felt calmer and happy, and after one particular session I felt acceptance.
How many sessions did it take before you felt the real impact?
Eight sessions.
Did you feel additional effects in the days or weeks after you’d completed the program? Please describe any.
The way I see the world is better.
What specific tools, lessons or techniques has the program taught you that have helped control your mental health and emotional wellbeing?
Staying calm in stressful and aggressive situations.
What would you say to anyone suffering from what you suffered?
I have been through what you are going through and I recommend that you get help.
What would you say to someone sceptical about whether a program like BWS can help them?
I went to Blissiree Pty Ltd to help me though my situation and I recommend that you go there as well.
