Our experienced clinicians have helped countless families, CEOs, and employees to address anger management challenges at home AND at work.
Typically this involves:
examining situations/triggers that lead to anger, reactivity and/or outbursts
learning the physical responses that can be cues for probable escalation
creating mindful, in-the-moment awareness of these circumstances and thereby intervening at the appropriate time
recognize negative thought patterns and belief systems that create these propensities and thereby reframing thoughts to more clearly reflect reality, rather than giving in to faulty perceptions
learning new responses to feelings of anger that don’t include abrasiveness and off-putting reactions to others
learning effective communication, problem solving, de-escalation, and conflict resolution skills
