Individual and Group Anger Management
Counseling
“Anyone can be angry; that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right reason, and in the right way, this is not easy.” – Aristotle (384-322 B.C.)
Controlling one’s feelings of anger is a significant challenge for many adults, teens, and children. Uncontrolled anger is a significant factor in domestic violence and spousal abuse, in aggressive driving violations, workplace rudeness and disruption, marital conflicts, and family fights. Recent research also shows that anger affects your health and general well-being. Angry people have shorter life spans and are ill more often than other people.
At Words for Living Inc., participants learn the eight tools of anger control, including empathy development, stress management, altering our self-talk, learning to respond instead of reacting, the art of assertive communication, changing expectations, learning to forgive, and learning how to retreat and think things over. Common problems addressed in our classes are:
- Inability to cope with partner’s anger.
- Destructive anger in relationships
- Simple battery
- Road rage
- Parent-teen conflicts
- Anger towards family members
- Workplace anger
We have a required workbook and class discussions, completion of homework assignments, videos, and other instructional aids.
