This program is a twelve to twenty six week commitment designed to build skills and gain insights into the emotional, physical, cognitive and behavioral aspects of anger and its escalation. Anger Management enhances home and social safety, as well as increases self-awareness and promotes life productivity.

What is Anger?

Anger is a completely normal, healthy emotion.  It is a common reaction when we have been insulted, wronged, hurt, or treated unfairly.  When we know how to control and manage our anger, it can actually play a positive role in our lives, helping us to stand up for ourselves, to fight against injustices, and to recognize when there is a need to make changes in our lives.  

Many people do not know how to control their anger.  Instead, they let their anger control them, and violence often is the result. 

 

When people act in anger, they seldom are thinking rationally about what they are doing and what the consequences will be then regret the consequences later.  When anger leads to the loss of self-control people can get hurt, relationships get ruined, and lives become destroyed.

Suppressed anger can manifest itself into emotional and physical problems, and unresolved anger is often expressed in alternative ways, through sarcastic, cynical, or critical remarks, and passive-aggressive behavior. 

Applied Behavioral Science’s Anger Management and Stabilization program helps clients stabilize their emotions, reducing both the emotional feeling of anger and the corresponding physical reactions.  Once intermittent explosive behaviors are understood and controlled clients can self assess the causality behind their angry feelings. This leads to becoming better adjusted and capable of expressing angry feelings in a calm, assertive way, wile being respectful of others and engaging in appropriate and useful communication.
