Groups
Anger Management
10-week group will explore when anger is appropriate, the difference between assertiveness and aggressiveness, and how to differentiate between anger, fear and frustration. We?;(tm)ll practice being able to express ourselves so that others are able to truly hear us versus being intimidated or afraid. We?;(tm)ll use mindfulness skills to identify emotions and be able to ?;oejust feel?; these rather than reacting inappropriately. This group is not someone talking at you about how to be less angry. It?;(tm)s interactive and results in a real shift in how you experience and express the often helpful emotion of anger.
