Course Description
If you have been at the mercy of the negative consequences that result from mishandled anger, Anger Management 101 will provide relief. This insightful course is filled with both practical wisdom and application that will end the anger trap for good.
Everyone occasionally gets angry and anger is a natural reaction to the things that happen: to you, around you, to someone you care for. Anger is a normal emotion unless the result of your anger is such that your reaction becomes uncontrollable, violent, or destructive.
When anger becomes your reaction of choice to even the most minor of situations, or if you find yourself lashing out unnecessarily at people you love, respect, or care for, your anger may be spiraling out of control. Out of control anger can lead to many psychological and emotional issues, as well as many difficulties with your career, important relationships, and friendships.
This course will provide the information you will need to end the anger cycle and live up to your true potential. We will discuss these topics:
What are Various forms of Anger
What are the Responses to Anger
How to Control Anger
Developing Empathy
Passive Aggressive Behaviors
Stress Factors
Anger in Relationships
Professional Help Resources
Breathing and Relaxation Exercises
Course Lessons
Lesson 1 - The Basics of Anger
Anger is a normal, natural emotion, and without it we would be less able to defend ourselves when needed. However, our physical reaction to anger and the way we express anger can become a problem for some.
Lesson 2 - Area Responses to Anger
Anger is an emotion that elicits responses from three areas. There are physical responses to anger, physiological responses to anger, and cognitive responses to anger.
Lesson 3 - Identifying Anger
Recognizing your anger requires you to do a little self-exploration to determine what kinds of things make you angry, how you have been taught to handle anger, and why you feel provoked to anger in certain circumstances.
Lesson 4 - Controlling Anger
Repressing anger is not the same as calming yourself in a positive way and working through your anger. Repressed anger can manifest itself in both psychological and physical ways and can cause stress, high blood pressure, and frustration.
Lesson 5 - Developing Empathy
Empathy is having the ability to feel or understand what someone else is feeling. By developing your ability to feel empathy, you may be able to diffuse your anger and angry reactions, because you will understand what the other person is feeling.
Lesson 6 - Passive Aggressive Behavior
Passive aggressive behavior is a coping mechanism that people use to handle their anger. On the outside, they seem friendly, cooperative, and willing, but on the inside they are seething and resort to sabotage.
Lesson 7 - Stress
Stress is the mental and physical reactions to the daily pressures of life. The relationship between stress and anger is undeniable. There are things you can do to reduce stress both mentally and physically.
Lesson 8 - Anger in Key Relationships
The people we love the most are often also the ones who anger us the most. We can have angry feelings toward parents, children, siblings, and spouses. Open communication is the most important way to handle anger in your closest relationships.
Lesson 9 - Professional Help
Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we are unable to handle anger on our own. When that happens, seek a licensed professional counselor or anger therapist to help you learn effective ways to manage your anger.
Lesson 10 - Breathing and Relaxation Exercises
Breathing exercises can make you dizzy or lightheaded, so be careful and use caution. If a specific exercise recommends sitting to perform it, it is important that you comply.
