Anger is A FEELING. Humans routinely feel anger, sadness, hurt, happiness and fear. This capacity gives us our humanity yet many clients come to us believing that anger is a 'bad' thing. They are ashamed and beat themselves up for feeling angry.
The real problem is not feeling anger but angry behaviour.
Identifying this simple truth can be a huge relief because behaviour – however habitual - can be changed.
Angry behaviour can be habitual. Anger Management involves 'retraining the brain', breaking the habit with a new set of skills and understandings.
"Learn to control your anger. It can be positive! Stop letting your anger control you"
Anger Management is both a learning and a therapy. You will learn to manage your angry behaviour. You will feel more peaceful and more powerful when you see there is "light at the end of the tunnel", as you begin to understand the causes of your anger.
STAGE 1 offers short term methods to begin managing your temper outbursts, manipulation, road rage and the bahaviours which may be causing problems in your life by hurting yourself, your partner, children and colleagues. You can learn time management of the split second when your body tells you are about to explode. Learn to 'stop', to express 'anger by appointment only'.
STAGE 2 focuses on understanding the causes of your anger. We carry our own anger at all times, ready to ignite at the slightest excuse. If it is out of proportion to the event then you are probably taking things personally. When you are about to explode - if you could - ask yourself "Why am I so angry?"
STAGE 3 is about new behavioural choices and new ways of looking at the world. It is about not letting your anger 'hijack' you. You will learn how to express anger in a healthy way. It is possible to be assertive without being aggressive. Learn to stop taking things personally and 50% of your anger will disappear.
"By joining an Anger Management course you have already won half the battle – admitting you have a problem"
