Anger Buster Half-Day Training Seminar

"This Workshop is Not Available At this Time"

Most anger addicts are unwilling to face the true depth of their problem. In the parlance of the recovery movement, they live in the middle of a river in Egypt called “De-Nial.” Their tendency to blame others for their outbursts and to minimize the seriousness of the damage they are causing makes it difficult to motivate them to work for lasting change. The goal of the Anger Buster Half-Day seminar is to help participants understand the dynamics of denial and to accept responsibility for working to control their anger.

Anger addicts can change, given the proper motivation, tools and strategies. This seminar provides a step-by-step process that will help them to control their anger and begin to change their anger patterns.

OBJECTIVES

Using the Anger Buster ABCs of anger control (Abstain, Believe, Communicate), participants will:

• Be challenged to get out of “De-Nial” River by using two anger assessment tools to uncover their own blind spots.
• Be introduced to the Fight or Flight model for understanding the way anger works, and compare that to the model of the Anger Pressure Cooker.
• Be presented with a list of 16 angry behaviors to abstain from, in order to turn down the fire under their anger pressure cooker.
• Be encouraged to embrace a belief system that values 20 important attitudes and values, thus disabling some of their anger triggers.
• Be guided toward a new way of communicating that emphasizes winning against anger by learning how to “lose,” when conflicts arise as a result of inappropriate expressions of anger.
• Design a recovery plan to continue working on their anger following completion of the seminar, and make a formal commitment to diligently work on this plan for the next 90 days.
