Program Goals

Our goals for each client who attends the Anger Management program are:

  • To understand the difference between anger as an emotion and angry behavior which leads to harmful choices towards yourself and others
  • To understand negative self-talk and how such thoughts work to escalate emotions and choices
  • To demonstrate the ability to prevent anger from building by monitoring thoughts
  • To demonstrate knowledge of how to contain anger in the moment and how to calm down and make choices that are not harmful to yourself and/or others
  • To understand where your anger comes from and what situations you use to give yourself an excuse to hurt yourself and/or others
  • To learn conflict resolution skills and practice them during sessions
  • To start to understand how to make amends for choices made out of anger and negative self-talk
  • To start to learn how to reduce anger and build values and meaning in life that are not dependent on anger
