Anger is a healthy emotion in everybody’s life — when it’s expressed in an appropriate manner at the right time. Too often, many of us let anger get the better of us in arguments and emotional interactions with others. This group will help you better understand the roots of anger, and how to experience it in a way that is more healthy — both for you and those around you.
The objectives of the group are:
- To develop anger management skills to figure out what anger is, why they get angry, and ways to prevent angry responses.
- To identify anger, the myths surrounding anger and how bottled up feelings can lead to exaggerated outbursts.
- To educate you in the biological responses that trigger anger and make you more susceptible to aggression.
- To manage anger’s impact on your body, mood, thoughts, and behavior in healthy ways.
- To explore the purpose of anger and how to take responsibility for your choices.
- To identify situations that can quickly escalate your feelings of anger and provide skills on how to communicate more effectively.
