Stress and Anger Management | the well clinic~ acupuncture, counseling, massage therapy in San Francisco

Alistair Shanks provides a structured and skills based exploration into difficult emotional states and the tools we need to manage them. In a private setting, you will learn a range of practical, somatically based skills in mindfulness, including meditation, breathing exercises, and basic Qigong techniques.

At times our lives can get painfully out of balance. Anger, stress, anxiety, depression, are all symptoms of the rapid, technology driven lifestyle of the Bay Area. We may be highly successful in the modern sense but still be using unhealthy methods of coping with stress, anger or depression. In fact we may be so together on the outside  that we become highly skilled at compartmentalizing inner turbulence.  Alistair can help you build wisdom based methods to manage  intense emotional states.
