Dealing with Anger

Dealing with Anger focuses on developing an understanding of the effects of anger on conflict situations. Participants have the opportunity to increase self-awareness about their own patterns and beliefs about anger. Interactive exercises, group discussions and videos are used to teach specific skills and concepts that enable participants to learn both about managing their own anger and responding to another’s anger effectively. 

Note: this is NOT anger management therapy.

When you're ready, here are a few ways to join us:

This course may be a good fit if you ever…

• avoid conflict because anger feels overwhelming or unpredictable
• feel unsure how to respond when someone else is angry
• want to better understand your own anger and how it shows up
• react in the moment and later wish you had handled it differently
• find yourself shutting down, escalating, or getting stuck in patterns
• want practical tools to stay grounded and communicate more effectively
• support others in your role and need to respond to anger with confidence

In this course, participants will have the opportunity to: 

• Understand why we get angry, 
• Understand the way our bodies react when we are angry, 
• Understand why people behave differently in response to anger; 
• Gain self-awareness regarding their own beliefs about anger and their patterns of response; 
• Learn to respond more effectively and communicate to their own anger; 
• Learn to respond effectively to another’s anger using specific communication skills and strategies; and 
• Increase their overall confidence about responding to anger on a day-to-day basis in healthy, constructive, and creative ways. 

 Here’s what the learning experience looks like:
• A calm, supportive environment
• Short teaching segments with practical examples
• Time to reflect on your own real-life situations
• Opportunities to practice new tools in low-pressure ways
• Space for questions, discussion, and shared learning

You won’t be asked to perform or share anything you’re not comfortable sharing. The focus is on giving you realistic tools that you can carry back into your everyday conversations.
