What is an anger management class, and how does it work?
An anger management class is a way to teach people how to express their anger in an appropriate, healthy way. People are taught about what anger is, how to recognize their anger triggers, how to become aware of their own feelings of anger, and how to make it a force for good in their life. There are also discussions about what other feelings they may have going on, such as depression, feeling victimized, avoidant, etc. This can be done individually, with spouses or families, or in groups.
An anger management class is a way to teach people how to express their anger in a controlled, healthy way. We teach people about what anger is, how to recognize their anger triggers, how to become aware of their own feelings of anger, and how to keep their anger under control. We also discuss what other feelings they may have going on, such as depression. We can do this individually, with spouses or families, or in groups. So, for the person who was in the military, for example, we would work with him on realizing that he doesn’t need to yell and scream and get aggressive when he’s angry. We’d also work with him on issues he may have with his upbringing, such as being in an abusive household.
