Transitions Counselling is a small counselling practice operating in Kelowna, B.C. My name is Ed Mitchell, and I specialize in: couple's counselling; anger and stress management and trauma. I have developed approaches to these specializations that can work for clients, and aid them in having more control in their lives, as well as more enjoyment. I use a number of different approaches based on the client's reason for seeking therapy and what their goals are in therapy.

The question of who I am comes to mind frequently. And it is to be discovered, this continent of me, in the space between thought and the habit of action. As Eckhart Tolle explained, the pain body has a driving motivation. How fully we see ourselves depends on how quickly we understand the motivation of our own thoughts. To ask the question, 'Why do you want to do that?' can give me time to be curious. It is how I discover and learn to love myself.At the bottom of the well, if I stick my head way, way down with a flashlight, is fear. I will crust it over, armour it in anger. Because anger feels strong and because anger will protect me, I place anger in front of fear to protect it. But the problem is that I have now hidden my fear. It is in a costume. In the deepest part of the dark cave, is a scared being.We yearn to loveThe problem with anger is that it gets in the way. When I feel angry, defensive, I have now put myself into a state where I cannot love. I cannot love others, but most harmful of all, I can no longer love myself.
